Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Dawn Abd the Dons' is a sweeping and romantic historical account of Monterey, California, during its most transformative eras. Author Tirey L. Ford provides a detailed exploration of the region's evolution, from its discovery by Spanish explorers and the founding of the missions to the colorful period of the Spanish and Mexican Dons. The work serves as a window into the cultural and social fabric of early California, capturing the essence of a time defined by pastoral leisure, aristocratic traditions, and the strategic importance of the Pacific coastline.Through a series of narrative sketches, the book illustrates the architecture, customs, and notable figures who inhabited the Monterey Peninsula before the onset of the American era. Ford emphasizes the unique blend of Spanish and Mexican influences that shaped the region's character, highlighting the dignity and hospitality of the influential families of the time.
