Originally compiled and produced by publishers and subscriptions agents for area residents and patrons, county and regional histories are difficult to find. Included in this collection on California are 97 titles covering 8 cities and regions. These titles comprise tables and lists of vital statistics, military service records, municipal and county officers, chronologies, portraits of individuals and views of urban and rural life not found anywhere else. The atlases provide additional information on land use and settlement patterns and scarce early town and city plans.
