Book The Origin and the Meaning of the Name California

Download or read book The Origin and the Meaning of the Name California written by George Davidson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and the Meaning of the Name California: Calafia the Queen of the Island of California, Title Page of Las Sergas Before the acquisition of California from Mexico, 1848, there had been several attempts to declare the origin and the meaning of the name california, and in subsequent years the subject was revived. The proposed solutions indicate that the matter has not been so fully or so clearly presented to our people as it might be; and there fore we have undertaken the task Of tracing the history of the name, and have ventured to give a meaning to this and associated names. For this purpose we present such of the modern explanations as we have access to, from Robert Dudley, 1630-47, to authorities as late as 1903. We exhibit the use Of the name in early charts and in early Span ish documents and narratives to the end of the seventeenth century. The first recent historian to point to the source of the name was George Ticknor, in his History of Spanish Literature.

Book 1500 California Place Names

Download or read book 1500 California Place Names written by William Bright and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-11-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the new "pocket" version of the classic California Place Names, first published by California in 1949. Erwin G. Gudde's monumental work, which went through several editions during its author's lifetime, has now been released in an expanded and updated edition by William Bright. The abridged version, originally called 1000 California Place Names, has grown to a dynamic 1500 California Place Names in Bright's hands. Those who have used and enjoyed 1000 California Place Names through the decades will be glad to know that 1500 California Place Names is not only bigger but better. This handbook focuses on two sorts of names: those that are well-known as destinations or geographical features of the state, such as La Jolla, Tahoe, and Alcatraz, and those that demand attention because of their problematic origins, whether Spanish like Bodega and Chamisal or Native American like Aguanga and Siskiyou. Names of the major Indian tribes of California are included, since some of them have been directly adapted as place names and others have been the source of a variety of names. Bright incorporates his own recent research and that of other linguists and local historians, giving us a much deeper appreciation of the tangled ancestry many California names embody. Featuring phonetic pronunciations for all the Golden State's tongue-twisting names, this is in effect a brand new book, indispensable to California residents and visitors alike.
