"Voices from Colonial America: California 1542-1850" is an excellent expository book packed with primary sources. The historical periods covered span from the mid-1500's to the beginning of the Gold Rush and statehood. In the chapters "Life at the Missions" , "Presidios and Pueblos" and "Life in Mexican California", author Robin Doak makes an extremely complicated society (with its patronage system and interrelated groups) make sense. The book includes historical maps and images, timelines, and resources. Although the text is clearly written and would not be overwhelming for a fourth grader, on page 50, one of the historic letters from the head of the San Diego mission includes a comment about rape: "Very many of them [the soldiers] deserve to be hanged on account of the continuous outrages which they are committing in seizing and raping the [Indian] women". Teachers will need to decide whether this sensitive material would be too disturbing for their students. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

California's rich history is traced for young readers: from its origins as a sparsely populated outpost of the Spanish empire in the 16th century to the frenzied westward migration of the 1850s. Young readers encounter England's Sir Francis Drake, who claimed the west coast for England, calling the land New Albion, and learn how the state was eventually named for a mythical island inhabited by female warriors. Readers also learn how Spanish priests and settlers founded powerful Jesuit missions and presidios; how more Indians died in California's missions than were saved; how Russia became a threat to Spanish control, establishing a fort on the West Coast in 1812; and how California was affected by Mexico's independence from Spanish rule. Finally, they experience the gold fever that propelled California towards its entry into the Union as the 31st state in 1850.
