The nineteenth century was a time of huge growth and prosperity for California. Although the Gold Rush lasted only seven years, California provided other opportunities for those who emigrated there in search of a better life. California: From Towns to Cities 6-Pack focuses on the history of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Fresno, and the people and events that influenced their transformations from small towns to booming cities.

Aligned to the National Council for Social Studies (NCSS) and other national and state standards, the books are leveled to support above-, below-, and on-level learners.
