If It Ain't Baroque...

San Pedro Bay: The Making of the Port of Los Angeles and America with James Tejani


Listen Later

Please welcome James Tejani on the show.

We’re talking about his book A Machine to Move Ocean and Earth:

The Making of the Port of Los Angeles and America.

Published last year with WW Norton and Company.


Let’s find out more about the San Pedro Bay and how it transformed into one of the most imPORTant locations in the world. Pun intended.

What was the significance of this spot, why was it chosen, how did it develop? Which of America's famous sons were behind it? 


By the end of the episode we’ll also find out if Edward Ord, a pivotal character in this book, was a grandson of Prince Regent, i.e. George IV. 

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves…

Welcome, James!
