With an authentic background in early California statehood, EAST OF
THE GREAT VALLEY champions the triumph of good against evil during
one of the most brutal times in western history. The novel is set
in the Sierra Mountains during 1856-1876. The story is of the
survivor of a slaughtered Indian band, and the struggles of the
pioneering family who adopted her. The novel's realities are harsh.
Its characters are true to the time. Good does triumph, but only at
a cost. --The book also illustrates California's valiant
contribution to the Civil War when men, the California 100,
enlisted to go to the east and fight for the Union with the
Massachusetts 2nd Cavalry while much of the state were Southern
sympathizers.
