Arriving in Mexican California in 1832, Thomas O. Larkin
(1802-1858) expected to become a rich man-and he did: he became a
successful merchant, financier, and land developer. Larkin also
became the confidant of California officials, American consul to
California, and secret agent of the president of the United States
during the territory's transition from Mexican to American control.
Harlan Hague and David Langum have uncovered a large body of new
information, shedding light on many aspects of Larkin's personal
life as well as on his business and diplomatic activities.
Historians and general readers will welcome this full-scale
biography of one of the most important men in the history of early
California.
