In this fascinating chronicle of the California Gold Rush written
in 1918, American writer, Steward Edward White, gives an historical
view of those early days of the mid-19th century, and the many
challenges of the formation of a new frontier: incoming population,
law and order issues, greed and power, political differences,
successes and failures. White shows how quickly San Francisco grew
from a population of a few hundred into a center for commerce,
wealth, and politics. He writes of the Spanish days of early
California, the 1846 Mexican War, and follows the movement of the
Mormon population on its trail westward, and the challenge to
create a civilized, law-abiding society. In Linda Pendleton's new
Introduction, we learn who Stewart Edward White was and the legacy
he left of his many fiction and nonfiction books following his
death in 1946. An explorer, conservationist, naturalist, and big
game hunter, his love for nature, conservation, and adventure were
to become very much a part of his literary works over his long
literary career. Several of his nonfiction works are classics in
the exploration of the paranormal and communication from the spirit
world. He wrote with passion, whether about the adventures beyond
the veil or about adventures in nature and the earthly frontier.
