Last month I wrote about a trip my wife and I recently took to northern California to see my niece get married. We flew in and out of Sacramento. I also indicated I would discuss the beginnings of California as it became a state in 1850 a very interesting time in the development of the United States. To start, it would be presumptuous of me to think I can adequately cover the start of California joining the U.S. in this short column. At best, if I can get some readers motivated to do some more research on their own that would be great. But I will try to cover at least a few things that might draw your interest.
