The essays are lively, well written, and suited to the student, scholar, and all interested readers of the history of the American West. A Companion to California History is an innovative, thorough introduction to the history and culture of California. Written by both senior scholars and new voices in the field, the essays range widely across perspectives, including political, social, economic, and environmental history.

The volume consists of 25 essays, each an original contribution by a writer or scholar, which collectively assess the best and most important work to date on the complex history of Los Angeles.

Together, the contributions constitute a lively and informed introduction to a history as fascinating as it is complex.
