À propos de cet audio

 Have you ever wondered why Spain, rather than Japan, was the first to settle the Golden State? In this captivating exploration, Professor Chapman presents a rich and entertaining history of “the Californias,” starting with the geography and native cultures and moving through to the arrival of American influence in 1848. What could have been a daunting historical account is made accessible and engaging with fascinating stories throughout. Meet Governor Pedro Fages and his spirited wife, Doña Eulalia Callis, who humorously clashed with local customs while secretly seeking her husbands removal. Discover the poignant tale of Conceptión Argüello, who devoted her life to waiting for the roguish Russian, Razánov. Yet, this narrative is more than charming anecdotes; it delves into significant events like the Anza expedition of 1775-1776 and the Yuma massacre of 1781, underscoring Californias vital role in American history.Copyright Early Modern Monde Science Sciences sociales
