This chapter addresses the immediately south of the Cascades in the Sierra Nevada bioregion, extending nearly half the length of the state of California. This bioregion is one of the most striking features of the state of California, extending from the southern Cascade Mountains in the north to the Tehachapi Mountains and Mojave Desert 700 km to the south. Moreover, the fire responses of important species and fire regime-plant community interactions in the foothill shrubland and the woodland zone, the lower-montane forest ecological zone, the upper-montane forest, the subalpine forest, the alpine meadow, and the shrubland zone and eastside forest and woodland are explained. The success of the management of the Sierra Nevada is contingent on the ability and willingness to keep fire an integral part of these ecosystems.Less

In the process of the making of building nation-state, numerous mountain ridges have been mobilized as "natural" borders between states. On the opposite, recent initiatives try to shift from this notion of mountains as barrier to mountains as bridges among communities. The transboundary character of the mountains is considered as an asset. These regional initiatives are part of the general rise in influence of transnational regions, which the imaginaries of globalization seem to encourage, even as the exclusive prerogatives of nation-states evolve and transborder practices intensify.Less

There is much excellent phylogenetic work on California plant species, but the molecular tools used thus far are generally more useful at discerning evolutionary relationships that occurred prior to the Pleistocene. Some species were survivors of disjunctions among previously widely distributed taxa and some arrived via dispersal. There is good evidence that many California plant clades are the result of Miocene migrations across Beringia. Although likely originating from the Old World, several California genera have evolutionary divergence centered in western North America and illustrate the phylogeography of flowering plants of California. Diversification on complex substrates during fluctuating climates has resulted in high levels of endemism throughout the state, but particularly in the Klamath-Siskiyou and Coast Ranges. Evolutionary processes within California’s many endemic species undoubtedly included allopolyploidy, autopolyploidy, and apomixis. Secondary contact resulting in hybridization—as a result of colonization from multiple refugia—has led to interesting genetic patterns of reticulation in many taxa. Much phylogeographic work remains to be conducted on the flora of California, particularly those species that occur in the Klamath-Siskiyou region and those with distributions in the Transverse Ranges and southern Sierra Nevada. Endemics with the most restricted distributions are present in the central Coast Ranges, the Sierra Nevada, and the San Bernardino Range, with the youngest neoendemics identified from the Desert and Great Basin.Less

California insects surveyed for their phylogeographic structure display a variety of patterns, depending on their vagility, habitat requirements, and reproduction. Although insects have been present since the Paleozoic, they experienced significant extinction during at the end of the Permian. Modern insect lineages expanded and migrated in the mid-Mesozoic with the expansion of freshwater ecosystems and with associations with angiosperms in the Cretaceous. Later colonizations of western North America by insects were likely the result of repeated migrations across Beringia and from eastern North America. Molecular evidence from taxa in the Klamath-Siskiyou region, southern Cascades, and northern Sierra Nevada support migration from Asia. Endemism in the Sierra Nevada is surprisingly low (at 0.9 percent) and occurs primarily at higher elevations; however, mountainous species—particularly alpine taxa—reflect the effects of Pleistocene climatic change on their genetic structure. Butterflies, in particular, have the capacity for long-range dispersal, but because they are vulnerable to environmental change, they provide a good model for the study of phylogeographic change. Low-dispersing species have emerged as particularly useful in providing genetic signatures of past vicariant events.Less

The northern provinces encompass all of California north of the Transverse Ranges, which dissect the state in an east-west fashion just north of the Los Angeles Basin. This chapter deals with the discoveries of Mesozoic reptiles in the Klamath Mountains Province, Sierra Nevada, Great Valley Province, and the Coast Ranges Province. The Klamath Mountains Province is the geological northern extension of the Sierra Nevada. It is in this province where more than two hundred Triassic reptile fossils have been found. The first discovery of reptilian fossils in the Sierra was made in 1954 and the remains were those of a plesiosaur. In the Great Valley Province, a multitude of discoveries has yielded a rich trove of Late Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs and marine reptiles. Three specimens of Mesozoic reptile remains from the Coast Range rocks were discovered. Two of them were found in radiolarian cherts: highly contorted, thinly layered beds originally deposited in the deep ocean well offshore from the continent. The third specimen is the first evidence of a Jurassic plesiosaur discovered west of the Rockies. The fossil came from a limestone concretion weathered out of the so-called Franciscan-Knoxville shales.Less

This chapter focuses on the David Belasco work, The Girl of the Golden West. This was seen on its first peformance by Giacomo Puccini in 1907, while he was on his visit to New York. Puccini was searching for his next project when he saw the play of Belasco. Belasco specialized in melodrama emphasizing naturalism. The Girl of the Golden West is about a young woman living in a mining camp mostly populated by men. The setting of Belasco's play and Puccini's opera are situated within the Sierra Nevada mountains. Their works sparked the modernist ideologies which governed the civilizing process. Lastly, the two envisioned the time–space relations.Less

This chapter seeks to understand the relationship of settlement booms and gold rushes, and to use each to gain insight into the other. In 1848, gold was found inland of San Francisco, California. The United States had just wrested this region and more from Mexico in the war of 1846–1847. The subsequent gold rush brought California's first great inflow of people in 1849, and unfolded thereafter in what was to become the standard pattern. Gold presented in two main forms: ‘placer’ or alluvial deposits of gold dust, grains, and small nuggets distributed through soil or gravel by erosion, which could be acquired simply by washing and sifting, and seams or veins in quartz rock which required expensive deep mining and crushing. The Californian rush proper peaked in 1853 and ended with a local bust in 1855, but gold continued to be crushed and washed from the Sierra Nevada for decades thereafter.Less

This book examines the role of the Chinese in the lumber trade in the American West during the late nineteenth century, with a focus on the Sierra Nevada in the 1870s to 1890s. It looks at Chinese laborers' contribution to the building of the American West by analyzing their migration, their communities and lifestyles, lived experiences, transnationalism, and their work in relationship to mining and railroad construction. It also considers the timber barons and companies that employed Chinese workers, their departure from the Sierra Nevada forests, and the anti-Chinese sentiment that they endured. It shows that Chinese immigrants new to North America were first attracted to mining, but they turned to other work, such as logging, when they met with resistance and opposition from miners. The book also challenges some of the popular stereotypes that developed during this period of emerging unionism, along with the assumption of “cheap Chinese labor” that has been used to interpret the Chinese experience in late-nineteenth-century America.Less

Though recognized for their work in the mining and railroad industries, the Chinese also played a critical role in the nineteenth-century lumber trade. This book continues an examination of the impact of Chinese immigrants on the American West by bringing to life the tensions, towns, and lumber camps of the Sierra Nevada during a boom period of economic expansion. Chinese workers, like whites, labored as wood cutters and flume-herders, lumber jacks and loggers. Exploding the myth of the Chinese as a docile and cheap labor army, the book shows Chinese laborers earned wages similar to those of non-Asians. Men working as camp cooks, among other jobs, could even make more. At the same time, the book draws on archives and archaeology to reconstruct everyday existence, offering evocative portraits of camp living, small town life, personal and work relationships, and the production and technical aspects of a dangerous trade.

This concluding chapter discusses the departure of the Chinese from their involvement in lumbering, years after making a significant contribution to the building of the American West. In the 1880s Chinese immigrants constituted the majority of the men employed in the lumber trade in the Sierra Nevada. They undertook a variety of jobs, from wood transportation and mill operation to digging ditches, grading roads, cooking and cleaning, and caring for the animals. The wages they earned were determined by the type of job they did. This chapter shows that Chinese laborers in the logging industry had moved either into other occupations or to work in other forests—some even returned to China—by 1920 due to a variety of factors, such as the emerging forest conservation movement, technological improvements in logging, decreased demand for lumber, and the rise of large corporations that drove the smaller lumber firms out of business.Less

Alfred Haunold’s hybrid hops saved the Oregon hop industry by appealing to macro brewers such as Anheuser Busch, Miller, and Coors. But, at the same time, a craft beer revolution unfolded on the Pacific Coast. This chapter explains that, while the big brewers helped sponsor the hop breeding efforts, they did not always want the end result. In fact, the big brewers used only a handful of the two dozen hop varieties that Haunold released until his retirement in 1996. The hops we have in our microbrews today are the result of newfound collaborations resulting from the craft brewers of the 1980s and 1990s. And, unlike the 1950s and 1960s, the hop has become a visible component of beer marketing.Less
