Description

The award-winning storyteller, May McNeer, brings her delightful style to the amazing, wonderful, and dramatic story of California. This is sure to be a favorite for children and adults alike who enjoy beautiful pictures and engaging text.Readers will learn all about the varied landscapes of California, the Spanish Missions, the fur trappers, Sutter's Fort, the many people from all over the world who now call California "home", the Gold Rush, the incredible city of San Francisco, the Transcontinental Railroad, and the various industries of California (grapes, fruit, water, oil, and logging), and about the city of Los Angeles.This wonderful telling of California's history is made extraordinary by the pairing with a master lithographer–Cornelius DeWitt–who creates sweeping spreads on nearly every page. California’s stunning coastline, its agriculture, Missions, giant redwoods, Rancherias, and the wild days of the Gold Rush, are vividly and unforgettably brought to life in this lovely reissue of the original 1944 edition.
