Historic Spots in California (4 Revised edition)

The only complete guide to the historical landmarks of California, this standard work has now been thoroughly revised and updated.

The edition is enriched by some 225 photographs, all taken by the reviser and new to this edition.

Since the last revision in 1990, enormous changes have taken place within the state: many landscapes and buildings have been greatly altered and some are no longer in existence.

Every effort has been made, through personal observation, to record the present condition of the landmarks and to provide clear and accurate descriptions of their locations.

The text is written with the idea that the reader might use the book while traveling around the state, and thus mileage and signposts have been given where it was thought helpful.

For this new edition, the reviser has added additional information on the state s geography, the presence of Native Americans, and state and local museums.
