Cultural Writing. American West. History. Introduction by Ronald A.
Wells. "This book is meant to help the reader toward an
understanding of two things: namely, the modern American state of
California, and our national character as displayed in that
land"--Josiah Royce, 1886. California has recently been blessed
with a number of careful and colorful works by authors who do not
hesitate at-and perhaps even enjoy-shattering the state's historic
icons in order to present an honest view of the state's formative
events and their causes. Josiah Royce's CALIFORNIA, published in
1886, is the prototype for this approach. With keen attention to
detail, Royce produced a passionate narrative-at times ironic, at
times outraged, at times in awe of pioneer courage-that sought to
ground our history in truth and to reveal the moral consequences of
the American conquest of Mexican California.
