Download or read book Calafia The Untold Story of California s Beginnings written by Rick Walker and published by History of California. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calafia is a historical fiction thriller filled with mystery, suspense, and political drama. This tale is about the untold story of the Spanish discovery and colonization of California, chronicling the clash of the explorers and Indian culture on the early American western frontier.The adventure starts in Spain with sovereign power mongers pulling strings behind the scenes to gain military dominance in America. Creating the "Sacred Expedition" results in a cultural deluge for the indigenous people of California. Calafia threads the sea and land adventure of military men, missionaries, and explorers carrying out their often-brutal directives on the unsuspecting Indians. Loaded with actual accounts and versions of the people's history of California, embark on a first-hand retelling steeped in violence and marked by struggle. After a lifetime of service as a transcriber to King Charles III's chief minister and to several Alta California governors, Sergio Monino sits at his desk in Monterey in 1818 to pen Calafia for posterity. Part memoir, part narrative history, his story is filled with political intrigue, military exploits, daring exploration, religious beginnings, and cultural development.As fascinating as it is distressing, Sergio shares a sympathetic account of the indigenous people who would eventually be displaced by European pioneers in one of the greatest U.S. historical sagas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich, romantic tale of wine, love, new beginnings and a family’s determination to fight for what matters. It is 1897 and a newly married couple, Sara and Philippe Lemieux, are determined to make their Napa vineyard into a world-renowned operation. But with the new century arrives the threat of a dangerous blight on their grape vines and talk of looming prohibition. Closer to home, fiercely independent Sara is having a difficult adjustment to the role of wife and mother. An invitation to the World’s Fair seems to rejuvenate both the business and Sara and Philippe’s marriage, but a secret from Philippe’s past and Sara’s passion for the cause of women’s rights may derail all that they have worked for. Fate has other plans in store for the Lemieuxes in the spring of 1906, when a massive earthquake rocks northern California and brings a challenge unlike any other they have faced. Will the unstoppable events overwhelm Sara and Philippe’s future, despite their love for each other?

Book excerpt: California's Over leads us down an unmarked road to the coast and then deep into the rotten, labyrinthine house where James Farmican, the famous poet, shot himself to death years ago, leaving behind a legacy of adulation and bankruptcy. Now his family is leaving, and the young narrator--who calls himself Baelthon--has been hired to haul the furniture onto the lawn and sort through the attic and basement. But as Baelthon excavates, he also discovers layers of family mystery and comedy and cruelty, all of it piled too deeply for anyone to sort out: the unexplained disappearance of Farmican's ashes, the unfinished novel that may actually be his suicide note, the opera about cannibalism that his son is writing to rescue himself from obscurity, and, finally, the family's migration to the Nevada desert to claim their inheritance. And Baelthon discovers Wendy, Farmican's sixteen-year-old daughter who keeps her checkers pieces taped to the board where she and her father left them before he died. Emerging from her chrysalis of baby fat and self-loathing, Wendy is destined to be both the love of Baelthon's life and the object of his betrayal. Twenty-five years later, from the perspective of mid- and middle-class life, Baelthon recalls the mistaken selves he and the Farmicans once inhabited. What he doesn't expect--or think he deserves--is the redemption and abiding against-all-odds love that await him.
