In addition to insider information on many of the destinations, the guide features themed tours that will appeal to tourists and armchair travelers alike, history buffs, as well as teachers and parents.
Explore a Russian fort, an island prison; the West’s version of Ellis Island; a U.S. Naval weapons development; presidential museums; quirky, human-powered vehicles; sailing ships and aircraft carriers; California’s gold mines; mansions built by some of the country’s richest entrepreneurs; the art of American, Asian, and European masters, and much more.
Each of eight sections covers a separate geographic region.

Themed tours range from famous Californians, to lighthouses, ghost towns, and much more. This guidebook is a must-have for anyone interested in California's eclectic history.
