An overview of every Tennessean who ever came to California. April 3, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book covers in capsulated form the methods Tennesseans used to get to the California Gold Rush, naming names and parties as well as routes, but not the entire diaries. It would be very helpful for anyone doing genealogy whose ancestors came from Tennessee to California. Of particular interest to me was how many of them went into politics including Peter Burnett, the First American Governor, plus Wm. Gwin, the first 6 year Senator and many others. It is meticulously researched.
