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.California history sesquicentennial series ;1.Gold mines and miningCaliforniaHistoryCaliforniaHistoryTo 1846CaliforniaHistory1846-18501800s.academic.american culture.american history.beaches.california culture.california historical society.california.contemporary.cultural context.cultural history.diversity.environmental science.essay collection.ethnic diversity.ethnicity.gold rush.historical context.indian history.indigenous people.pacific ocean.race.racism.scholarly.state history.united states.us history.valley girl.west coast.western united states.womens history.Gold mines and miningHistory.979.4Gutiérrez Ramón A.1951-1151137Orsi Richard J1482199MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778858203321Contested Eden3717617UNINA
