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.

This guide focuses on materials that are readily available to historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and researchers.

Special sections focus on the legal resources of colonial New York City and Washington, DC—which is still technically in its prestatehood stage. Due to the enormity of this project, the editor of Prestatehood Legal Materials created a Web page where updates, corrections, additions and more will be posted.

Download or read book Californio Portraits written by Harry W. Crosby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, Harry W. Crosby’s Last of the Californios captured the history of the mountain people of Baja California during a critical moment of transition, when the 1974 completion of the transpeninsular highway increased the Californios’ contact with the outside world and profoundly affected their traditional way of life. This updated and expanded version of that now-classic work incorporates the fruits of further investigation into the Californios’ lives and history, by Crosby and others. The result is the most thorough and extensive account of the people of Baja California from the time of the peninsula’s occupation by the Spaniards in the seventeenth century to the present. Californio Portraits combines history and sociology to provide an in-depth view of a culture that has managed to survive dramatic changes. Having ridden hundreds of miles by mule to visit with various Californio families and gain their confidence, Crosby provides an unparalleled view of their unique lifestyle. Beginning with the story of the first Californios—the eighteenth-century presidio soldiers who accompanied Jesuit missionaries, followed by miners and independent ranchers—Crosby provides personal accounts of their modern-day descendants and the ways they build their homes, prepare their food, find their water, and tan their cowhides. Augmenting his previous work with significant new sources, material, and photographs, he draws a richly textured portrait of a people unlike any other—families cultivating skills from an earlier century, living in semi-isolation for decades and, even after completion of the transpeninsular highway, reachable only by mule and horseback. Combining a revised and updated text with a new foreword, introduction, and updated bibliography, Californio Portraits offers the clearest and most detailed portrait possible of a fascinating, unique, and inaccessible people and culture.

Download or read book We Became Mexican American written by Carlos B. Gil and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of Mexican family that arrived in America in the 1920s for the first time. and so, it is a tale of immigration, settlement and cultural adjustment, as well as generational progress. Carlos B. Gil, one of the American sons born to this family, places a magnifying glass on his ancestors who abandoned Mexico to arrive on the northern edge of Los Angeles, California. He narrates how his unprivileged relatives walked away from their homes in western Jalisco and northern Michoacán and traveled over several years to the U. S. border, crossing it at Nogales, Arizona, and then finally settling into the barrio of the city of San Fernando. Based on actual interviews, the author recounts how his parents met, married, and started a family on the eve of the Great Depression. With the aid of their testimonials, the author's brothers and sisters help him tell of their growing up. They call to memory their father's trials and tribulations as he tried to succeed in a new land, laboring as a common citrus worker, and how their mother helped shore him up as thousands of workers lost their jobs on account of the economic crash of 1929. Their story takes a look at how the family survived the Depression and a tragic accident, how they engaged in micro businesses as a survival tactic, and how the Gil children gradually became American, or Mexican American, as they entered young adulthood beginning in the 1940s. It also describes what life was like in their barrio. the author also comments briefly on the advancement of the second and third Gil generations and, in the Afterword, likewise offers a wide-ranging assessment of his family's experience including observations about the challenges facing other Latinos today.

Download or read book Quest for Empire written by Donald C. Cutter and published by Fulcrum Group. This book was released on 1996 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before has the introduction of European culture to Native Americans been so fully explored as in Quest for Empire. In this balanced chronicle, not only is the conquest and exploitation of Indians measured, but also the indelible mark of Christianity and foreign skills left on Native cultures. This captivating portrayal of the Spanish legacy in the Southwest is as full of adventure and colorful characters as it is replete with historical detail. History comes alive as Donald Cutter and Iris Engstrand look at Spain's quest to establish an empire in the far Southwest - not as a matter of right or wrong, but as a matter of fact. Beginning with a description of the land and its peoples in the late fifteenth century, the authors trace the adventures, failures and successes of the Spanish soldiers, missionaries and settlers who introduced European culture to the south-western portion of what is now the United States. Although motives ranged from trying to discover the golden cities of medieval legends to saving the souls of aboriginal inhabitants, the result after five centuries was the same, an ethnically merged group of people with its roots in a dual heritage. The inheritance that defined the south-western region lives on in the twentieth century with names like San Diego, San Jose and Santa Fe. Antiquated verb forms of old Spanish can still be heard in the Land of Enchantment, and the traditions of colonial Spain remain a part of this unique culture. Quest for Empire is a description of this remarkable past and illuminates its connection with the present.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Sentiment for the Annexation of California: An Account of the Growth of American Interest in California From 1835 to 1846 Inevitably, in the treatment of a subject involving so many details, mistakes have arisen and faults can readily be pointed out. Yet I believe the account to be accurate in the main, and trust that it will shed some new light on a. Most interesting and important phase of westward expansion. Wherever possible I have gotten my material from manuscript sources, finding the official documents on file in the State Department; the Polk, Jackson, and Van Buren correspondence in the Library of Con gress; and the Larkin correspondence in the Bancroft Collection of the University of California especially rich in this regard. Frequent use has also been made of contemporary writings of the time, whether in book, magazine, or newspaper form. These have been indicated by references throughout the text, as have also the considerable number of secondary authorities and government publications upon which I have been privileged to draw.
