About the author and work: An early printing. First published in 1886, Josiah Royce's history stands as the most important analysis and distillation of California during that crucial time period between 1846 to 1856. Those ten years, more than any other, shaped California's character and destiny. The values he expressed in the 1880s are more akin to those of the present day, and consequently, his book continues to receive high praise for its astute interpretation of an all-too-imperfect past. A volume in the American Commonwealth series, edited by Horace W. Scudder. less
