Book Synopsis
A generation after the conquest of California, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo set out to write the story of the land he knew so well - a history to dispel the romantic vision overtaking the state’s recent past. The five-volume history, published for the first time in English translation, is the most complete account of California before the gold rush.

Trade Review
“These volumes should be widely read by all those interested in the history of California and the American West under Spanish, Mexican, and American rule. Its triumph lies in bringing forth a formerly hidden history that raises important insights for today’s discussions about colonialism and race.”—James Sandos, author of Converting California: Indians and Franciscans in the Missions

“A significant addition to the rich documentary heritage of California history. Beebe and Senkewicz provide the definitive translation, one that enriches our understanding of Vallejo and his times.”—Albert L. Hurtado, author of John Sutter: A Life on the North American Frontier
