Yountville history

This is a historic tour back in time on this small town with a good text and many old pictures. It is a who is who what is what how this California town in Napa Valley developed with the pioneers. It is only on p.37 that it mentioned a small Chinatown here. Nothing on the site and life of Chinese in this town. It is a book of old and new, history and modern. The last chapter keeps reader update on the latest development. A recent visit to this town for the Sharpsteen Museum and see the window exhibit of small scale Chinatown with lightings and moving train after a twenty five cent deposit. It is a good history guide for Yountville for arm chair tourist.
