Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronologically outlines the history of California, presenting first the accounts of Spanish explorers and colonizers. It then describes its transition to Mexican rule, and the eventual ceding of the territory to the United States at the end of the Mexican-American War. This book provides a detailed insight into the lives of California's indigenous people before, during, and after these successive waves of European colonization, and how their culture and traditions have survived. The author also delves into the origins and rise of the Latter-Day Saints in California, detailing their journey from Illinois and their eventual establishment of Salt Lake City as a commercial and religious epicenter. The book gives a thorough account of the transformative effects of the 1848 Gold Rush, discussing the economic, demographic, and social changes that ensued. It highlights the eventual decline of the mining industry, and the rise of agriculture and other industries as mainstays of the Californian economy. Through its detailed historical examination, this book offers a comprehensive perspective on the forces that have shaped California's unique identity and culture.
