The story of California began when a Portuguese captain sailing for Spain found a beautiful natural harbor as he plied his way up the Pacific coast. Little could he have imagined that dropping his anchor in what is now San Diego Bay would be the birth of the Golden State. Ask any Californian and you'll quickly learn that California is like two states in one: In the north are rocky cliffs, rugged beaches, and a heritage that harkens back to gold rush days. In the south is the quintessential 'postcard&#8221; California of orange trees, warm ocean breezes, and boulevards lined with palm trees. Whichever California you favor, both have a rich heritage based in the cultures of Spain, England, Russia, China, and America. Citizens from all these lands came to California early, and all had a hand in building the nation's most populace state. This is her story. Buch (fremdspr.)

California sprang into visibility even before it became a state in 1850. It attracted not only gold prospectors, speculators, and laborers but also photographers and other artists. Nancy Hendrix's Historic Photos of Old California shows that early shutterbugs grasped both historic significance and timeless qualities of their new environs. These pictures capture the dramatic changes that took place in the Golden State from the year of its admission to the Union to 1920. A piece of history in your hands.
