Description

Using nearly five hundred historical maps and many other illustrations - from rough sketches drawn in the field to commercial maps to beautifully rendered works of art - this lavishly illustrated volume is the first to tell the story of California's past from a unique visual perspective.

Covering five hundred years of history, it offers a compelling and informative look at the transformation of the state from before European contact through the Gold Rush and up to the present.

The maps are accompanied by a concise, engaging narrative and by extended captions that elucidate the stories and personalities behind their creation.

At once a valuable reference and an exhilarating adventure through history, the "Historical Atlas of California", featuring many rare and unusual maps, will be a treasured addition to any library.

Distilling an enormous amount of information into one volume, it presents a fascinating chronicle of how California came to be what it is today.
