This is a republication of the original, 1932 edition of this work by Margaret Gilbert Mackey, Research Assistant, Visual Education Division, Los Angeles Board of Education and Louise Pinkney Sooy, Associate Professor of Art, U.C.L.A. The book was written: "In answer to the continual requests for information concerning authentic costume in Spanish and Mexican California ...[to] within this limited space ... gathered together and illustrated significant data pertaining to those picturesque periods." The volume contains 25 plate illustrations, with all but one in black and white, illustrating costumes and accoutements. The last, Plate 25, is in color and shows six flags. It also includes a few pages of explanation about the flags. The Bear Flag shown is an accurate drawing of the so-called "Todd Bear Flag" which was lowered at Sonoma on July 9, 1846, eventually donated to the Society of California Pioneers in 1855, and destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fires. This flag may also be the original Bear Flag, but that has yet to be proven with any certainty. Due to the flag plate and descriptions this volume shows up in catalog searches for flags of California and the Bear Flag Revolt.
