A highly enjoyable collection of landmark events and their repercussions

Fourth-generation Californian and state history enthusiast Carl Palm presents This Day in California History, a day-by-day survey of remarkable events in California's rich and varied history. Each day is allotted approximately one page to discuss its most remarkable happenings, from the births, deaths, and achievements of famous Californians, to the attack on Pearl Harbor (which would forever change California as it transformed into a natural point of departure for troops en route to the Pacific Theater) to the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge and much more. A highly enjoyable collection of landmark events and their repercussions, fun to simply browse through and especially recommended reading while on one's way to a California vacation!
