Book Description
Excerpt from Brief History of California The history of California is unique. Its periods of growth are distinct epochs. It did not grow out of complex situations. A series of logical events succeeded each other, apparently in natural sequence, until a typical State of the United States was completely evolved. Its history since its admission is equal in interest to its romantic past and its thrilling present. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from California: An Englishman's Impressions of the Golden State Students of sociological problems will find that I have but skirted the fringe of what is, perhaps, the most poignant topic of the hour throughout America to-day that slow kindling in the camps of labour of the fires of rebellion and anarchy that increasing bitterness against the rich, which would seem to threaten not only California, but the whole Republic with the fiercest civil war yet known to history. Instead of dwelling upon these stu pendons subjects instead of climbing the highest points of her lofty mountains, I have traversed California guided rather by a vagrant taste for idling and roadside observation, than by, any desire to tilt against the windmills of great national problems.

Book Description
Excerpt from California: The Name Dr. Hale's clue was the correct one.2 The following consider ation of the question simply offers a fuller examination of the circumstances attending the discovery of Lower California, and of the possible way in which a term fabricated for fiction reached its dignified status on the map of America, after traveling up the coast from the point, until it covered the two Californias. The first question arising concerns the probability whether a word, used only incidentally in a fairly recent minor Spanish romance, was applied to the remote peninsula of California by the conquistadores who came from Mexico and who could hardly be supposed to have received the latest novel from home by post, as one critic observes. It would seem a major role to be played by fiction in the first half of the sixteenth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A History of California
Author: Charles E. ChapmanPublisher:
ISBN: 9781330851333
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 554
Book Description
Excerpt from A History of California: The Spanish Period This is the third volume of the writer which is the direct result of his enjoyment during two years of a Native Sons of the Golden West Traveling Fellowship, which enabled him to make researches in Spain. The writer's first thought, therefore, in publishing this volume is to express his gratitude to the patriotic Californian order which has made it possible. The other two works by the writer on the history of California were directed primarily to the history profession; one (The Founding of Spanish California) was an intensively documented monograph, and the other (Catalogue of Materials in the Archivo General de Indias) a technical manuscript guide. These two he is endeavoring in the present work to bring to their logical conclusion - the ultimate aim, indeed, of all historical scholarship - by publishing what he hopes may be accepted as an authoritative popular history. Since it is intended for the general public, this volume omits much of the professional paraphernalia, and does not hesitate to give space to interesting incident. As to its authoritativeness it is at any rate the product of thirteen years' investigation of Spanish Californian history, involving the use of thousands of hitherto unknown manuscripts, as well as important printed materials not previously digested or assimilated. Two outstanding reasons exist for the publication of this volume. In the first place, it presents a vast amount of new material, some portions of which have never before appeared in print, while others were not known, or not utilized, by the general historians of the state.
