Book Description
B.M. Bower's compelling historical story "The Gringos: A Story of the Old California Days in 1849" is a must-read. This compelling story, which is set against the background of the California Gold Rush, transports readers on a thrilling journey through the untamable wilderness of 1849 California. The chaotic and thrilling atmosphere of the Gold Rush period, replete with rough terrain, greedy prospectors, and contacts with Native American tribes, is vividly brought to life by B.M. Bower's narration. Readers see the clash of cultures, the quest of fortune, and the ties of friendship forged in the face of hardship through the eyes of the gringos. The historical fiction novel "The Gringos" weaves a colorful tapestry of action, romance, and the unbreakable character of the human spirit. The Old California Days in 1849 are eloquently depicted in Bower's superb story, which also paints a realistic image of a period and location that permanently altered the American West's terrain

Book Description
Celebrating the 150th birthday of the state of California offers the opportunity to reexamine the founding of modern California, from the earliest days through the Gold Rush and up to 1870. In this four-volume series, published in association with the California Historical Society, leading scholars offer a contemporary perspective on such issues as the evolution of a distinctive California culture, the interaction between people and the natural environment, the ways in which California's development affected the United States and the world, and the legacy of cultural and ethnic diversity in the state. California before the Gold Rush, the first California Sesquicentennial volume, combines topics of interest to scholars and general readers alike. The essays investigate traditional historical subjects and also explore such areas as environmental science, women's history, and Indian history. Authored by distinguished scholars in their respective fields, each essay contains excellent summary bibliographies of leading works on pertinent topics. This volume also features an extraordinary full-color photographic essay on the artistic record of the conquest of California by Europeans, as well as over seventy black-and-white photographs, some never before published.
