#5 Stars: 11 ,

[ 5.0 stars ] "What a fantastic history. I read also Phillip Fradkin's book The Seven States of California around the same time, so for a period I was immersed, and for some reason very interested, in California history reading. Carey McWilliams is so sophisticated and so deeply knowledgeable about the L.A./southern California history and culture. I think I always saw this place through rose-colored glass ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "If you have ANY curiosity about "where California came from", socially, economically and politically, this book has the answers.Ever wonder where the Spanish land grant families went? In an anti-Mexican society, their sons didn't do as well, but their daughters married the white immigrants with prospects, and their descendants are among the top of California society. NOBODY says these things ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "This book hasn't aged at all ! It is still worth reading to have an overview of the region's history. It can be read both by specialists and people who just want to know more about Southern California. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "At the end of this book the author Carey McWilliams, a terrific nonfiction writer, admits to hating Los Angeles upon first moving there. It is only as he discovered the place for himself that the hate turned to love. It is that passionate but jaundiced eye that allows McWilliams to fully capture the land of Southern California.The book isn't exactly history, though it does describe the Calif ..."
