Description
History comes alive in CALIFORNIA: THE GOLDEN SHORE BY THE SUNDOWN SEA, by W. H. Hutchinson. With his famous, storyteller's narrative style, anecdotal illustrations, & an intimate command of historical detail & an eye for trends, "Hutch" puts flesh on the forces shaping California's past, present & future. From the first Indian inhabitants to modern "native-born" & ever-increasing immigrants, the interaction of human natural forces forged California's destiny. CALIFORNIA; THE GOLDEN SHORE BY THE SUNDOWN SEA examines not only a panoply of historical figures & events, but also how California's climate, geography, geology, & climate have figured in supporting & limiting human endeavors. This includes the state's vast commercial achievements, as well as the rise of conservationist movements & the never-ending "water-wars" between Northern & Southern California. Hutchinson's lively history speaks to the present & coming dramas as well. Including the state's role in the age of technology & the shift of economic & political power from San Francisco to Los Angeles, & the continuing challenges of water energy supply constraints. The vivid backdrop of the past becomes present reality & the future's stage! ISBN: 0-89863-140-8 Star Publishing Company, P.O. Box 68, Belmont, CA 94002.
