California Sketches: New and Old is a collection of essays and stories written by Oscar Penn Fitzgerald, an American journalist and author, and first published in 1895. The book is a vivid portrayal of California, its people, and its history. The author shares his observations and experiences of the state, from the early days of the Gold Rush to the present time. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part containing sketches of California's past, while the second part focuses on contemporary life in the state. Some of the topics covered in the book include the history of the missions, the Chinese in California, the life of the miners, and the development of San Francisco. The author's writing style is engaging and informative, and his love for California shines through in every page. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of California, and for those who enjoy well-written and entertaining non-fiction literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
