California made its history so fast that it had to be written down before anyone forgot. Sexton collects the stories the state was built out of: the missions, the ranchos, the Bear Flag, the gold, the vigilantes, the overland parties, the big trees and the men who first counted them. Written for young readers, and better company than most adult versions of the same events.
