Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of California: And Other Poems of the West From your Missions, old and gray, At the crimson close of day I can hear the bells a-ringing, soft and low; While the gay guitar of Spain Lends a plaintive, sweet refrain From the dim, romantic days of long ago, - Long ago, long ago, long ago, From the Padres and the Dons of long ago. From Sierras, thunder-riven, Shadowy peaks arise to heaven - Hooded saints, whose names are benedicite; From the canon's purple rim Downward rolls their matin hymn Over golden-fruited valleys to the sea; To the murm'ring pines beside the shining sea. Till it mingles with the music of the sea. In this sunny land of mine, With its honey, oil and wine, And its poppy fields aflame with living gold; In this Eden of the earth God is bringing to the birth Greater wonders than He wrought in days of old; In the bold days of old, the days of gold, Than He fashioned through the Argonauts of old.

Download or read book The History of California Classic Reprint written by Franklin Tuthill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of California The following book was written because there seemed to be a demand for a History of California which should sketch the main events of the country from its discovery to the present time. The pioneer, under whose observation the most exciting of these events have occurred, confesses the need of such a book. The thousands who have entered the State since it assumed its present peaceful aspect, complain of the lack of a succinct story of what had to be done here to make the land so pleasant a home. The material for a history of California is abundant. The log-books of ancient mariners who visited the coast - the voluminous, if not well-kept archives of the Government, while the territory was under Spanish or Mexican rule - the official reports and Congressional documents about the transfer to the United States - the files of newspapers since the land was Americanized - the scores of books of intelligent travellers, who have put their impressions on record, and the oral evidence of natives, and early immigrants, who mingled in all the affairs most interesting to us - from these sources may be drawn ample details of life in California, from dates as far in the past as any but enthusiastic antiquarians care to retire to. There are several histories of California to be found in the libraries, some of them works of permanent value.

Download or read book Blue Sky Metropolis written by Peter J. Westwick and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Like citrus, oil, movies, radio, and television, aerospace helped create Southern California and embody its values. Blue Sky Metropolis launches an entirely fresh consideration of an iconic industry that answered the immemorial hunger of the human race for flight and the future."--Kevin Starr, University of Southern California "Blue Sky Metropolis presents an intriguing survey of a unique time in Southern California history, when cheap land and benign weather lured massive aerospace enterprises to the region—eventually serving as home to nearly half of the nation’s defense and space fabricators. Before there was a Silicon Valley, high-tech dreamers were on the loose in the Southland, creating inventions as diverse as the Voyager planetary spacecraft and the Stealth bomber. These highly readable essays help us understand how it happened—how Southern California shaped aerospace, and vice versa."—Charles Elachi, Director, Jet Propulsion Laboratory "Peter Westwick has assembled a rich collection of essays that tell a wonderful story about the importance of the aerospace industry to Southern California and the importance of Southern California to the aerospace industry. There's technology, sociology, economics, geography, anthropology, and much more woven through the chapters. It's an ambitious project, but it succeeds in being interesting, informative, and entertaining."—Michael Rich, President and CEO, The RAND Corporation
