Rachael,
Call your local state historical park. Most of the volunteer assns are
very helpful to newcomers. In particular, try Peralta Adobe in SJ, San
Juan Bautista SHP and most especially Fort Ross. Many will have
reference lists.
Or read "Two Years Before the Mast". He'll tell you what he saw 1st person.
Check the h-cost archives under "Californio" & fandango.

Or you can call Sutter's Fort in Sacramento. (I'm a docent there.)
