Bean, Walton. California; an Interpretive History. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1968. Print.
Walton Bean examines the history that shaped California, such as sociological behaviors, problems, themes of special importance, racism, etc. Special conditions traced back from Mexican land grants to the railroad system, and the rise of corporate agribusiness. The rise from the oppression and labor, the decisions on economic or environmental needs and the decisions necessary to form a home for many. This is helpful for my research for smaller details with agriculture and Stanford University.
