Description
Summary:"This book explores the connections between geography and migration in relation to settlement development from the Sierra Nevada to California's north coast, focusing on the last half of the 1800s at various scales. It begins with settlers' individual-level movements and impacts, and then shifts to town creation at mid-level family and community scales, and ends with a large-scale synthesis of the interrelationships of population change, geography, and history in the larger northern California region."--Provided by publisher.
