Synopsis
Excerpt from The Approaches to California
The paramount interest of California history lies, not in the vicissitudes of settlers in the country, but in the search for a road thither. There neither was nor is any short or easy way of reaching El Dorado; and, from the days of the conqueror of Mexico to the present, the wrecks of lives and reputations have been strewn along the many paths by which men have essayed to reach this land.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rich history of California from the perspective of the various global approaches and routes people took to reach its shores. Beginning with the Spanish conquest in the 16th century, the author traces the subsequent expeditions, both by land and sea, that were integral to establishing Spanish dominance in the region. The book also examines the impact of other European powers, including England, Russia, and France, whose search for the elusive Northwest Passage and their fur trade ambitions brought them into contact with California's coastline. Russian exploration and settlement in Alaska and the eventual establishment of American presence in Oregon and Texas are also discussed, highlighting the geopolitical dynamics that shaped California's development. The author argues that California has been a nexus of global aspirations, a meeting point for diverse cultures and ambitions. This book provides a fresh perspective on the state's history, demonstrating how the search for new lands, trade routes, and resources has influenced its evolution, from its indigenous roots to its status as a global hub. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334244704_0
