Title
The History of Alta California
Description
The first written history of Alta California during the era of Mexican rule. Osio writes about the life in the old Monterey, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. He gives a first-hand account of the political intrigues of the 1830s, the U.S.-Mexican War (1846–1848), and California’s territorial transition from Mexico to the United States. The author recalls with pride the achievements of Mexican California in earlier decades and writes critically of the onset of U.S. influence and imperialism.
