Much has been written about the miners who responded to the
discovery of Gold in California, yet little has been said of the
church and community leaders who came along with them. The life of
William Brier is a forgotten story of one pioneer and Presbyterian
minister who came to California to change the newly emerging
society. This biography begins with his neglected tombstone, and
works backward to recreate his colorful and controversial life
history. He founded over 27 churches, shaped the California school
system, stood up for law and order, and protected the rights of
Chinese workers.
