Excellent Collection of Historical Works

Purchased for a class, I'm still reading the collection of essays and articles written by persons of historical importance. The collection also includes essays written by historians from the perspective of hindsight, but mostly the documentation of persons who experienced the growth pains of California are what make this book the best that I've read. Don't let the title fool you-if you're interested in learning more about how California evolved to become a state you'll find the book interesting and insightful.
