Eastvale has Arrived!

I have been a little slow letting you know about my latest book. Called "A Brief History of Eastvale," it is about the second newest city in Eastvale, Jurupa Valley being the newest, of course. My coauthor is Loren Meissner, who actually went to the Eastvale School many years ago. It was Loren who really pushed to get this book in print. He wanted all the new residents of Eastvale (which is almost everyone who lives there now) to know that Eastvale's history started way before 1975. It is available in local stores, online, and through the Eastvale Community Foundation.   

This Day in History - September 22, 1897


On Wednesday the 22nd Mr. Gorbruegge broke his shoulder in a serious accident. He was riding a horse when the horse went out of control and dashed under a clothesline. This caused Gorbruegge to be thrown from the horse. He then hit his shoulder on a cistern platform.
