About this title

Review:

"The publication of narratives and chronicles of Californios is long overdue. Beebe and Senkewicz's faithful translation of "La Historia de Alta California" contributes to the recovery of long-neglected material by Latinos in the U.S. They are pioneers in a growing field and I am certain this will be a watershed work."--Rosaura SAnchez, University of California, San Diego
