California ’46 to ’88 is a historical account of the development of California from its annexation by the United States in 1846 through to the year 1888. Written by Jacob Wright Harlan, a journalist and historian who lived in California during this time period, the book provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the major events, people, and trends that shaped the state during its early years of statehood.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a specific time period or topic. The first section focuses on the period of Mexican rule in California, including the Mexican-American War and the subsequent annexation of the state by the United States. The second section covers the Gold Rush of 1849 and the subsequent boom in population and economic growth that followed. Other sections cover topics such as the development of agriculture, transportation, and industry in California, as well as the state’s political and social history.Throughout the book, Harlan provides detailed descriptions of key events and figures, as well as analysis and commentary on the broader historical context. He also draws on a wide range of primary sources, including newspapers, government documents, and personal letters and diaries, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of California during this pivotal period in its history.Overall, California ’46 to ’88 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of California or the broader history of the American West. It provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the state’s early development, and offers insights into the social, political, and economic forces that shaped the region during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
