This is a great historical tour of California beginning with tribal stories and moving into the Spanish and then Mexican era's, and through 1945. There are stories from Native groups such as Costanoan, Chumash, Maidu, Yuki, Paiute to Karuk, Yurok and many more. There are also reknowned authors represented such as Mark Twain, John Steinback, Robert Louis Stevenson, Upton Sinclair, and Jack London as well as important stories such as Jade Snow Songs Fifth Chinese Daughter, and short stories of Toshio Mori.
