Reviews for A Companion to California History
“This volume of original essays by leading scholars is an innovative, thorough introduction to the history and culture of California.” (Native American Encyclopedia, 8 January 2014) "Like the best of California, the engaging essays collected in this compendium reveal – and revel in – a history of immense diversity and astonishing possibility. More than a "companion," these dazzling essays offer a friendly ‘field guide’ to California's past (and an excellent vantage point from which to contemplate its present and future)." –Stephen Aron, UCLA and Autry Institute for the Study of the American West ". . . a useful book. For somebody whose training is in history . . ., there is enough substance in each chapter to make it worthwhile.... Like all Blackwell Companions, this volume is pleasant to use and handle." (Reference Reviews, 2009)
