Newport Beach, with its picturesque harbor and 10 miles of sandy beaches, has seen great change since its beginnings in the post-Civil War era. Originally a shipping port, it evolved into a haven for movie stars, rumrunners, and gamblers and finally transformed into today�s exclusive beach community and popular vacation destination. In his third book on Newport Beach, author and longtime resident Jeff Delaney opens a door between Newport�s past and what remains.
