Misrepresentations of Early California History Corrected (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781021451255)

Written in response to sensationalist accounts of the California Gold Rush, this book provides readers with a more accurate and nuanced understanding of the state's early history. Through a series of essays and documents, the authors, members of the Society of California Pioneers, challenge popular myths and misconceptions about the period and provide a more nuanced view of the complex interactions between Indigenous peoples, Spanish colonizers, and incoming settlers. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West.
