The Californians is a novel written by Gertrude Atherton, first published in 1898. The story is set in San Francisco during the late 19th century and follows the lives of several wealthy families as they navigate the social and political landscape of the city. The main characters are a group of young men and women who are part of the elite society of San Francisco, including the wealthy and powerful Markhams, the ambitious and cunning Van Dammes, and the beautiful and mysterious Concha Arg�����ello. The story explores themes of love, ambition, betrayal, and the clash of cultures between the old Spanish California and the new American West. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of the city of San Francisco and its portrayal of the social and cultural tensions of the time. It is considered a classic of early California literature and an important work in the development of American realism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
