About This Item
Houghton, Mifflin., 1886. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Cloth, a near fine copy. Later edition with "1896" at the bottom of the title page. Zamorano Eighty 66: "The author, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, contributed this volume to the well-known series of state histories entitled 'American Commonwealths.' He made use of much source material in the form of both official and private documents and also talked to men who were part of the events he described. His purpose was to show the development of the national character in California in its first ten years of American occupation and to convey to his readers 'the process whereby a new and great community first came to a true consciousness of itself.'" Cowan p. 545. Howes R487.
