Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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.

Download or read book California written by Kevin Starr and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2007-03-13 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A California classic . . . California, it should be remembered, was very much the wild west, having to wait until 1850 before it could force its way into statehood. so what tamed it? Mr. Starr’s answer is a combination of great men, great ideas and great projects.”—The Economist From the age of exploration to the age of Arnold, the Golden State’s premier historian distills the entire sweep of California’s history into one splendid volume. Kevin Starr covers it all: Spain’s conquest of the native peoples of California in the early sixteenth century and the chain of missions that helped that country exert control over the upper part of the territory; the discovery of gold in January 1848; the incredible wealth of the Big Four railroad tycoons; the devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906; the emergence of Hollywood as the world’s entertainment capital and of Silicon Valley as the center of high-tech research and development; the role of labor, both organized and migrant, in key industries from agriculture to aerospace. In a rapid-fire epic of discovery, innovation, catastrophe, and triumph, Starr gathers together everything that is most important, most fascinating, and most revealing about our greatest state. Praise for California “[A] fast-paced and wide-ranging history . . . [Starr] accomplishes the feat with skill, grace and verve.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “Kevin Starr is one of california’s greatest historians, and California is an invaluable contribution to our state’s record and lore.”—MarIa ShrIver, journalist and former First Lady of California “A breeze to read.”—San Francisco

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Desert But, today the American Dream has been realized; we have settled our mainland from sea to sea and we stand as a great nation astride our final frontiers. Ours is a society with perhaps the richest land heritage in the world. The ecologist knows that we depend upon the land our soils, waters, our natural resources for existence. The social scientist in recent years has learned that we depend upon the land for space as well. With our heritage, we as a people must have open land with clean water, clean air, some place to clear our minds of too much city and too many people. As a nation we need, and are placing a greater and greater premium on, that which can probably best be called 'room to roam'. The need for open space in American cities is receiving great attention today, as well it should. Parklands near urban centers and rural Open lands are important. But millions of Americans want, and probably need, something else too wide open spaces, way-out-yonder lands, where a man can stretch himself physically and spiritually from horizon to horizon.

Download or read book Judge Lynch written by George Henry Jessop and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judge Lynch: A Tale of the California Vineyards There was a puzzled, grieved expression on the sheriff's face as he stepped forward and laid his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Jack Scott, you are my prisoner." Jack started and shivered a little. Arrest on a charge of murder is fortunately a rare experience, and of a kind to shock the strongest nerves. But arrest at this time and place meant something worse than suspicion, confinement, and the long suspense of a trial. The young man knew this, and his mind grasped in a moment the whole significance of the situation, with the lightning speed of thought in moments of peril. For this isolated little community of San Pablo, forty miles from railroad or telegraph, cut off by the precipitous coast range from the rest of California - even from the rest of its own county - was a law unto itself. The village nestled in a narrow plain; on one side the broad Pacific, on the other the mountains clothed on their western slope with the clustered vines.
