This is a new book and is the third volume of Nilda Rego's collections of popular weekly columns. It contains stories of people and events on the "other coast" from the early days to the 1950s. It is a trade paperback with illustrated wrappers and contains 195 pages. It was published by the Contra Costa Historical Society in 2005.
Nilda was a newspaper reporter for most of her adult life since graduating from the University of California at Berkeley. Her first newspaper job was as society editor for the Contra Costa Gazette, where she learned to spell such important words as stephanotis and benedict. Her husband's job took her to Oregon for 19 years, where she raised her six children and worked for a weekly newspaper. In 1969 she moved to Moraga and went to work for the Concord Transcript, a Lesher newspaper. She started out as the assistant to the society editor, and eventually moved to the newsroom covering cops, robbers, and the Concord City Hall. In 1987, she started writing a weekly column "Days Gone By" for the Contra Costa Times.
