Cool stories

My class is learning about the birth of California and the gold rush. This book is excellent with many stories about the exploration and statehood of the area.

Born in California? Then this book is for you.

If you were not born in California, then this book is especially for you! Each chapter is more or less stand alone with interesting facts and stories about early California. The laminated cover is a real beauty, and printing and writing is of very high quality. Makes an excellent text book for students of all ages.
