Book Synopsis California's First Maritimers by : Bruce M. Mitchell
Download or read book California's First Maritimers written by Bruce M. Mitchell and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is often considered to be a nation of immigrants. However, some historians have overlooked the important pre-Columbian history of the country. This seems to be particularly true in maritime history works. But anthropologists have generally agreed that the nationas Native Americans have been living within the present boundaries of the United States for at least 10,000 years. Most Native Americans have learned to rely on the use of watercraft throughout their history. Since California has the longest seacoast of any western state, it made sense to examine the lives of these important coastal California tribes in terms of their maritime exploits. The eventual incursions by the European immigrants changed the lives of these coastal residents forever. But the admirable spirit and intelligence of the first coastal Californians have enabled them to survive and flourish.

Book Synopsis California Maritime Archaeology by : Raab
Download or read book California Maritime Archaeology written by Raab and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2009-08-16 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Clemente Island is a microcosm of California coastal archaeology from prehistoric through historic times—not only because of the extensiveness of its archaeological remains but because those remains have been so well preserved. In California Maritime Archaeology, the authors use the island as a platform to explore evidence of early seafaring, colonization, paleoenvironmental change, and cultural interaction along the California coast. They make a strong case that San Clemente island should be seen as a kind of "California archaeological Galapagos," offering an extraordinary variety of ancient life as well as surprising information about prehistoric hunter-gatherers of the northern Pacific. The authors' two decades of research have resulted in this rich cultural history that defies widespread assumptions about California's ancient maritime history.

Book Synopsis Gold Rush Port by : James P. Delgado
Download or read book Gold Rush Port written by James P. Delgado and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described as a "forest of masts," San Francisco's Gold Rush waterfront was a floating economy of ships and wharves, where a dazzling array of global goods was traded and transported. Drawing on excavations in buried ships and collapsed buildings from this period, James P. Delgado re-creates San Francisco's unique maritime landscape, shedding new light on the city's remarkable rise from a small village to a boomtown of thousands in the three short years from 1848 to 1851. Gleaning history from artifacts—preserves and liquors in bottles, leather boots and jackets, hulls of ships, even crocks of butter lying alongside discarded guns—Gold Rush Port paints a fascinating picture of how ships and global connections created the port and the city of San Francisco. Setting the city's history into the wider web of international relationships, Delgado reshapes our understanding of developments in the Pacific that led to a world system of trading.

Book Synopsis Pacific Eldorado by : Thomas J. Osborne
Download or read book Pacific Eldorado written by Thomas J. Osborne and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PACIFIC ELDORADO PACIFIC ELDORADO A HISTORY OF GREATER CALIFORNIA California‘s rich and complex history has long been shaped by its relationship with the vast ocean along its western shores. Pacific Eldorado: A History of Greater California presents the first comprehensive text to explore the entire sweep of California‘s past in relationship to the maritime world of the Pacific Basin. Noted historian Thomas J. Osborne dispels the commonly held notion of pre-Gold Rush California as a remote and isolated backwater. He traces the evolution of America‘s most populous state from the time of prehistoric Asian seafarers and sixteenth-century Spanish explorers through to its emergence in the modern world as a region whose unmatched resources and global influence have rendered it a veritable super state — a Greater California whose history has far exceeded its geographical boundaries. Interspersed throughout the text are “Pacific Profiles,” brief chronicles of notable figures who have made an impact on the state‘s history. At once scholarly and accessible, Pacific Eldorado offers a strikingly original interpretation of the origins and evolution of an extraordinary American state.
