Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gold Fields of Lower California: Being a Complete Guide Book With Official Maps, Revenue and Mining Laws, Etc;, Etc; Fro Miners and Settlers The sudden migration of several thousand people into the Mexican Territory of Lower California, caused by the discovery of rich gold fields there about two weeks ago, the lack of knowledge, among many who have gone there, of the country, its history, resources and laws, as well as to answer such questions among those abroad who cannot help feeling interested in this mighty movement, has prompted the publication of this book. It was gold that caused the settlement of Alta California. History is repeating itself in Baja California, that New Italy, which is indeed the colophon (Kalifornia) of that great book - the world. The great Peninsula is too good a country to remain any longer a terra incognita. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating the 150th birthday of the state of California offers the opportunity to reexamine the founding of modern California, from the earliest days through the Gold Rush and up to 1870. In this four-volume series, published in association with the California Historical Society, leading scholars offer a contemporary perspective on such issues as the evolution of a distinctive California culture, the interaction between people and the natural environment, the ways in which California's development affected the United States and the world, and the legacy of cultural and ethnic diversity in the state. California before the Gold Rush, the first California Sesquicentennial volume, combines topics of interest to scholars and general readers alike. The essays investigate traditional historical subjects and also explore such areas as environmental science, women's history, and Indian history. Authored by distinguished scholars in their respective fields, each essay contains excellent summary bibliographies of leading works on pertinent topics. This volume also features an extraordinary full-color photographic essay on the artistic record of the conquest of California by Europeans, as well as over seventy black-and-white photographs, some never before published.
