Opis: Lessons in California History (Classic Reprint) - Wagner Harr

Excerpt from Lessons in California History

The writers of this history have aimed to give each chapter a beginning, a middle and an end. Each topic is complete in itself. An attempt has been made to put some life in the pages by going into details that have a human interest which the formal historical writer would consider more or less trivial. Special emphasis has been placed on the early discoveries by sea and land and the idea has been to correlate the facts of geography and history so this book will furnish material in harmony with such books as "California" and "The Home and Its Relation to the World" by Dr. H. W. Fairbanks.

Tourists and students have a special interest in the Spanish historical relationships. Architecture, especially the modern school buildings and private homes, the olive, the orange and the vine and other fruits and even our hospitality, are a part of California's Spanish heritage.

The discovery of gold, the American settlements, the building of the great state of California during the past seventy years, are treated by the presentation of types of pioneers and stories of struggles and difficulties of the early settlers. Special emphasis has been placed upon the story of education, the story of literature, the story of the state government and California's contribution to the common wealth, on account of their influence upon the social conditions of our state.
