Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a journal of the California State Assembly covering the tumultuous first session of 1854 as the state confronted its transformation from a territory into the 31st state of the Union. At the time of California's acceptance into the Union, it was beset with challenges including its mixed population of various languages, habits, and laws, and a complex post-Gold Rush economy. The author, Speaker of the Assembly C.S. Fairfax, invites the reader to witness the inner workings of the Assembly as they not only work to draft laws to form a functioning state government but grapple with the challenges that accompany rapid growth. These challenges include the establishment of an education system, infrastructure development, the creation of a tax code, and, most urgently, how to both protect and profit from the vast mineral wealth of the state.
