History of the State of California from the Period of the Conquest by Spain to Her Occupation by the United States of America eBook John Frost

California in 1850 as seen by actual eye witnesses. Fascinating book, in many ways ahead of its time. Includes a complete travelog and description of the entire state, at least the parts that were explored. Some of the author's predictions were right on, others a little off. Anyone interested in the real history of the state, written by people who lived it, needs to see this book.

History of the State of California from the Period of the Conquest by Spain to Her Occupation by the United States of America eBook John Frost Reviews

I downloaded this free book since, for the past 7 years, I have been reinventing myself as a Californian.

It was, apparently written around 1850 but the English is much more understandable than some current fiction from UK.

It is a true delight to read something so politically incorrect.

Although, the title uses the term of 'Occupation of the United States of America' - concept very much alive among some Hispanic activists here.

Native Americans (called, naturally, Indians in the book) are depicted, with a few exceptions, in a very unflattering way - I would not even dare to quote an example here.

I think, however, that it is completely politically correct to enjoy politically incorrect stuff since DIVERSITY is very high on the list of political correctness.

Difficult to follow my logic? Tough.
I expected a more complete text.
good read.
Excellent reading of California History.
A satisfactory publication but the font is too small you need a magnifying glass to read it
very disappointed that a book could be published in that size type.
I will have to find a similar book in a more readable print. A History of California was the exercise!
A terrible mistake the author should be concerned for his readers
not what expected
