BIBLIOGRAPHY

---

This page contains a list of books about California history. This is by no means a complete list but rather some of the many volumes that exist on the subject. Suggestions for other books to be included here is encouraged! Although I have endeavored to emphasize history, a few of the books listed have more to do with *genealogy. I attempted to list ONLY the books having to do with a portion or all of the state rather than a specific county.
