This is a fun book to see how people who came from far corners of the earth blended in a splendid multi-cultural atmosphere to make history in California's 58 counties. It is a delightful read and provides insight how people who came to California who you may never have heard of had their impact on what we know as the Great State of california.

This is a stellar book which takes a historical event and allows one to see it through the lense of its affect in the USA. For a non-Bay Area the author has an increible insight to the local area and its impact on the world.
