Calling California Home a Lively Look at What It Means to Be a Californian
- Binding: Paperback

Description:
With an eye for the telling detail and a sardonic sense of humor, Heather Waite surveys California from prehistory to the present, revealing the origins, attitudes, quirks, curiosities, and little-known facts that make residents of the Golden State unique. The length of steel wire in the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge (enough to circle the Earth nearly four times), the special attraction Trinity County has for lightning, and the tiny number of Chinese women (seven out of 15,000) to immigrate to the state in the 19th century are among the fascinating tidbits.
