Pacific Eldorado: A History of Greater California presents the first comprehensive text to explore the entire sweep of California s past in relationship to the maritime world of the Pacific Basin. Noted historian Thomas J. Osborne dispels the commonly held notion of pre-Gold Rush California as a remote and isolated backwater. He traces the evolution of America s most populous state from the time of prehistoric Asian seafarers and sixteenth-century Spanish explorers through to its emergence in the modern world as a region whose unmatched resources and global influence have rendered it a veritable super state a Greater California whose history has far exceeded its geographical boundaries. Interspersed throughout the text are Pacific Profiles, brief chronicles of notable figures who have made an impact on the state s history. At once scholarly and accessible, Pacific Eldorado offers a strikingly original interpretation of the origins and evolution of an extraordinary American state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53840925688087,"sku":null,"price":4705.49,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/1597412.webp?v=1784043271","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/pacific-eldorado-9781118292167","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
