Dreamers and Schemers chronicles how Los Angeles's pursuit and staging of the 1932 Olympic Games during the depths of the Great Depression helped fuel the city's transformation from a seedy frontier village to a world-famous metropolis. Leading that pursuit was the "Prince of Realtors," William May (Billy) Garland, a prominent figure in early Los Angeles. In important respects, the story of Billy Garland is the story of Los Angeles. After arriving in Southern California in 1890, he and his allies drove much of the city's historic expansion in the first two decades of the 20th century. Then, from 1920 to 1932, he directed the city's bid for the 1932 Olympic Games. Garland's quest to host the Olympics provides an unusually revealing window onto a particular time, place, and way of life. Reconstructing the narrative from Garland's visionary notion to its consequential aftermath, Barry Siegel shows how one man's grit and imagination made California history.

《梦想家与策划者》记录了洛杉矶在大萧条时期追求并举办1932年奥运会的过程，这一过程帮助推动了这座城市从一个阴暗的边疆小镇转变为世界闻名的大都市。引领这一切的是“房地产王子”比利·加兰德（Billy Garland），他是早期洛杉矶的重要人物。从某种意义上说，比利·加兰德的故事就是洛杉矶的故事。1890年抵达南加州后，他和他的盟友在20世纪头两个十年中主导了城市的历史扩张。然后，在1920年至1932年间，他负责指导城市的奥运会申办工作。加兰德追求举办奥运会的努力提供了一个独特的窗口，让我们可以了解特定的时间、地点和生活方式。通过从加兰德的远见卓识过渡到其影响深远的后果，巴里·西塞展示了一个人的毅力与想象力如何塑造了加州的历史。
