520			_aRoadside History of California takes you over mountains, across deserts, and along shorelines to the places where history happened. Author Ruth Pittman reveals the intricate tapestry of the state's history by following those threads that weave the most crucial and illustrative patterns. She writes with contagious enthusiasm about the missions, the gold rush, the rich cultural diversity, and issues as old as the state--water, social programs, the environment, and much more. The state's roadways provide an effective framework for reading about California history, leading you from place to place while the well-researched stories guide you through time and topics.--From publisher description.
