Publisher's Description of Story of California
The award-winning storyteller, May McNeer brings her delightful style to the amazing, wonderful, and dramatic story of California. A classic book revived from the mid-twentieth century, McNeer's history is made extraordinary by the pairing with a master lithographer–Cornelius DeWitt–who creates sweeping spreads of the Golden state's dramatic story. California's stunning coastline, its agriculture, Missions, giant redwoods, Rancherias, and the wild days of the Gold Rush, are vividly and unforgettably brought to life in this lovely reissue.

This is a supplement for my Abeka grade 4 history curriculum. I will use this as a resource for a unit on California history. I trust Beautiful Feet books to have a conservative perspective.
