Excerpt from California Nature's Paradise The billows may roll and the high seas sweep, The wind may moan, and the storm clouds weep, Though the boat rides high, just beyond so nigh Lies the harbor of the Golden Gate. See the rock and shoals as they cut the spray, As the wild waves dash ever on their way; Hear the sea gulls cry, Overhead so nigh, Sailing on toward the Golden Gate. O the Western Sea, famous Golden Gate, With portals ajar to the Golden State. 'tis a welcome true, That we give to you As we sail through your Golden Gate.

Excerpt from California, Where Life Is Better Not only room, but need. California cannot fulfill her manifest potentialities until many new millions have been added to her present population. The hard sledding pioneer phase is past. There remains the task of building, in this garden of the West, a proud and rich civilization which will be in some measure an answer to the opulent challenge of nature. Life today in California is on the whole freer, richer, happier in all probability than it is anywhere else in the world. What life can be tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, ifman does well his part where nature has been infinitely prodigal, is something that can scarcely be contemplated without a catch of the breath. Californians Inc. Invites you to come and enjoy this free and vivid life of the present, and to join in building the greater California of the future. This booklet, like the map on the following page, is only a general outline of California and what it offers you. It is impossible, briefly, to tell you of all the resources and advantages of the many beautiful, progressive, and prosperous cities and towns and counties which make California what it is. But we have detailed information concerning all of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Southern California: Sketches in Arizona and New Mexico From its nature, the book is in but slight sense a guide to persons visiting Southern California, al though its pages embrace much reliable information about the country and its people. Still, so rapid are the changes which take place on this part of the coast, that what was true of it in 1884, and even last year, may not be true of it to-day. The writer has aimed to build, out of the many sketches and facts given, a pleasant and readable book. That the work is free from errors she dare not.

ISBN: 050077613X

An introduction to the rich and diverse art of California, this book highlights its distinctive role in the history of American art, from early-20th-century photography to Chicanx mural painting, the Fiber Art Movement and beyond. Shaped by a compelling network of geopolitical influences including waves of migration and exchange from the Pacific Rim and Mexico, the influx of African Americans immediately after World War II, and global immigration after quotas were lifted in the 1960s, California is a centre of artistic activity whose influence extends far beyond its physical boundaries. Furthermore, California was at the forefront of radical developments in artistic culture, most notably conceptual art and feminism, and its education system continues to nurture and encourage avant-garde creativity. Organized chronologically and thematically with illustrations throughout, this attractive study stands as an important reassessment of Californias contribution to modern and contemporary art in the United States and globally.
