This copious collection of reminiscences, reports, letters, and
documents allows readers to experience the vast and varied
landscape of early California from the viewpoint of its
inhabitants. What emerges is not the Spanish California depicted by
casual visitors - a culture obsessed with finery, horses, and
fandangos - but an ever-shifting world of aspiration and tragedy,
pride and loss. Conflicts between missionaries and soldiers,
Indians and settlers, friends and neighbors spill from these pages,
bringing the ferment of daily life into sharp focus.
