Berkley, CA: University of California Press, Date: 1999. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 11 1/4h x 8 1/2w. A real nice clean unmarked 366 page first edition hardcover with 1 low in number line. In this vivid account of the birth of modern California, J.S. Holliday frames the gold rush years within the larger story of the state's transformation from the quietude of a Mexican hinterland in the 1840s to the forefront of entrepreneurial capitalism by the 1890s. No other state, no nation experienced such an adolescence of freedom and success. By 1883 California was hailed as "America, only more so."Holliday also conjures the ambitious, often ruthless Californians whose rush for riches rapidly changed the state: the Silver Kings of the Comstock Lode, the timber barons of the Sierra forests, the Big Four who built the first transcontinental railroad, and the lesser profit-seekers who owned steamboats, pack mules, gambling dens and bordellos-and, most important for California's future, the farmers who prospered by feeding the rapidly growing population.. 1999.

No other state, no nation experienced such an adolescence of freedom and success. By 1883 California was hailed as "America, only more so."Holliday's boldly interpretive narrative has the authority and immediacy of an eyewitness account. This eminent historian recreates the masculine world of mining camps and rough cities, where both business and pleasure were conducted far from hometown eyes and conventional inhibitions.
