The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
From the back of the book:
Historians agree that the true story of California is stranger and more fascinating than fiction. But never before has that story been told as it is in this exciting book. The dramatic yet easily understandable text, the scores of brilliant, full-color pictures (paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and specially prepared maps) make the past a living experience for young readers and older ones as well. Across these pages, in a glorious pageant of history, move the padres of the missions, the dons and vaqueros of the ranchos, the miners of the Gold Rush, the mountain men, the Bear Flaggers, and many more. Carefully researched, the facts checked by outstanding experts in history and geography, this book is a magnificent and completely authentic account of the events and the people that made California the great state it is today.
