About This Item
Seven Volumes, complete, a fine set with all volumes in dust wrappers.
First edition thus. Zamorano Eighty 3: "his History of California (vols. 18-24) is the best extant for it contains more material about the state's past than any other historian has succeeded in amassing. Its faults are obvious, to be sure. It lacks an index; the portions dealing with the gold-rush are exceedingly meager; and Bancroft's prejudices are apparent in many instances. However, the best evidence of its superiority is the fact that invariably research workers consult it first for information concerning California events." Cowan p. 33. Graff 155. Howes B91.Reviews
