Very minor jacket edge and corner wear. Yesterday s California is a photographic sampler of California in another time, another way of life, another age of both working and playing. Of all the states in the Union, California perhaps has the greatest variety -- variety in land forms, in climate, in occupations, in business, industry, the arts and the people. It has a history rooted in two colorful New World traditions: the Spanish and the Mexican. It was born of the famous Franciscan mission experiment, and exploded with the Gold Rush, with statehood, and the rapid exploration of its natural resources. California is mining country; farming country; it is ship-building country, airplane-building country; it is banking country, motion-picture making country; it is a state whose unofficial motto is play, have fun, enjoy. Hence it is only practical that any kind of historic-photographic presentation of the Golden State include glimpses of California's seashore, the mountains, the forests, the farmland, the deserts. and the people who have passed this way. Yesterday 's California is a positive expression of those older days, and, with all manner of personalities ranging from Herbert Hoover, Howard Hughes, and Shirley Temple to Upton Sinclair, John Muir, and John Steinbeck, it presents the broadest spectrum possible of heroes and celebrities.
