The Founding of Spanish California:
Northwestward Expansion of New Spain, 1687-1783
$3.50
By CHARLES E. CHAPMAN
Assistant Professor of California History, University of California, and the first N. S. G. W. Traveling Fellow in Pacific Coast History.
This work, based almost wholly on hitherto unused material, tends to show that the history of California is not only interesting, but that it is also important in the development of the great nation of which it now forms a part.
Doctor Chapman’s volume tends to show that the Spanish occupation of California in the years just prior to the American Revolution was in great degrees responsible for the later acquisition of American frontage on the Pacific,—surely a matter of importance in American life to-day and fraught with vast possibilities for the future.
