The 55ers: The Pioneers Who Settled Disneyland / David Koenig

Walking through Disneyland, you will spot cast members dressed up as cowboys in Frontierland, jungle explorers in Adventureland, and small-town shopkeepers on Main Street. But, back when the park first opened in 1955, the employees were not pretending. They were true-to-life characters, hand-picked for their amazing backgrounds. Now for the first time you can get to know these fascinating personalities in a new coffee-table book from MOUSE TALES author David Koenig. THE 55ers: THE PIONEERS WHO SETTLED DISNEYLAND; will introduce you to over 700 Year-One cast members from every department, including: Disneyland s notorious first general manager, C.V. Wood, and his Texas mafia; Vesey Walker, the bristly conductor of the Disneyland Band, and the 16 often-crazy musicians who followed him; The overly serious Marshal Lucky and his never-serious-enough nemesis, the villainous Black Bart; Adorable sweeper Trinidad; K7 the Kaiser Aluminum Spaceman; Original Jungle Cruise skippers; Merlin s Magic Shop magicians; Puffin s bakers; Hobbyland model airplane flyers;Golden Horseshoe can-can dancers; Plus the very first nurses, security officers, firemen, mule wranglers, ticket sellers, newsboys, switchboard operators, TWA Rocket to the Moon hostesses, and many, many more. THE 55er; features more than 300 never-before-published images, most of them furnished by the original Disneylanders themselves. The candid photos provide peeks inside a number of long-vanished areas of the park, including the Sunny-View Jams & Jellies shop, the Plantation House chicken restaurant, and the Adventureland Bazaar. This is the most unique cast of Disney characters you will ever encounter.
