About This Item
Berkeley, California: Academy of American Franciscan History, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. 175 p. Frontispiece portrait. The work of Jose Gonzalez Rubio, from his arrival in 1833 to his death in 1875, spanned the years of the decline of Mexican sovereignty, the United States-Mexican War, the U.S. conquest, and the ascendancy of Anglo-American social, economic, and cultural dominance in the state. The friar's career serves as a unique prism through which to view the double transition transforming California in the mid-nineteenth century. Monograph Series, Volume Fourteen. Quarto. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt stamping. A fine copy.
