Periodical of the Month

Congratulations to the writers and editors of our June Periodical of the Month, Wagon Wheels! We have featured the index to the 2017 issues, in part because of its focus on local topics that either had an effect on or were affected by larger historic events. With profiles on individuals such business branch managers, baseball players and soldiers, stories of dams constructed as part of larger water projects and even more, this magazine succeeds in demonstrating how local history relates directly state and national history. If you live in Glenn, Colusa or Tehama counties, if you love American or local history or even if you simply love profiles on interesting places and people, you might enjoy this periodical.

At the end of 2015, in an effort to better acknowledge and support work in the California history community, the California History Section started the Periodical of the Month program. This recognition honors quality research, editing and writing in periodicals devoted to California history. If you have any questions about this program, please feel free to contact us.
