Book Overview

California Romantic And Resourceful is a book written by John F. Davis that provides a comprehensive overview of the state of California. The book explores the history, geography, and culture of California, highlighting the unique features that make it one of the most fascinating places on earth. The author takes readers on a journey through California's diverse landscapes, from the rugged coastline to the snow-capped mountains, and the vast deserts. Along the way, Davis examines the state's rich history, from the Native American tribes that first inhabited the land to the Spanish explorers and settlers who established missions and towns. The book also delves into California's role in shaping American culture, from the Gold Rush to the birth of Hollywood and the rise of Silicon Valley.

California Romantic And Resourceful is a must-read for anyone interested in California's past, present, and future. It is a comprehensive guide to the state's natural beauty, cultural richness, and economic vitality, and a celebration of the many ways in which California continues to inspire and innovate.In swift contrast to this idyllic scene, which is shared with us by few other sections of this country, stands the history of a period where for nearly two years this State was without authority of American civil law, and where, in practice, the only authority was such as sprang from the instinct of self-preservation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
