California History Site

An evolving site with additional topics promised, this site contained three main topics in mid-1997. California Missions details their purpose, how they were operated, and why they were abandoned. The California Gold Rush provides information on the forty-niners who rushed to California and the far-reaching effects of gold fever. The final segment, Japanese Internment, summarizes the establishment of the relocation camps under Executive Order 9066, their locations, and living conditions.
