Böcker i California History Sesquicentennial Series-serien

This is the first in a four-volume sesquicentennial California history series to celebrate the 150th birthday of the state of California. This volume of essays investigates traditional historical subjects and also explores such areas as environmental science, women's history and Indian history.

Perhaps never in the time-honored American tradition of frontiering did 'civilization' appear to sink so low as in gold rush California. This title examines gold rush society and culture, to present interpretations, and to gather bibliographies of its topics.

The final of four volumes in the "California History Sesquicentennial Series", this text compiles original essays which treat the consequential role of post-Gold Rush California government, politics and law in the building of a dynamic state, with lasting impact to the present day.
