A proposito di questo titolo
 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 Mondiale Scienza Scienze sociali

    Insurgent Mexico-John Reed
    Nov 5 2026
    Insurgent Mexico by John Reed.

    In the autumn of 1913 John Reed was sent to Mexico by the Metropolitan Magazine to report the Mexican Revolution. He shared the perils of Pancho Villa's army for four months, present with Villa's Constitutional Army when it defeated Federal forces at Torreón, opening the way for its advance on Mexico City. Reed's time with the Villistas resulted in a series of outstanding magazine articles that brought Jack a national reputation as a war correspondent. Reed deeply sympathized with the plight of the peons and vehemently opposed American intervention, which came shortly after he left. Jack adored Villa, while Carranza left him cold. Jack's Mexican reports were later republished in book form as Insurgent Mexico , which appeared in 1914.
