"The phrase ’seeing the elephant’ symbolized for ’49 gold rushers the exotic, the mythical, the once-in-a-lifetime adventure, unequaled anywhere else but in the journey to the promised land of fortune: California. Most western myths . . . generally depict an exclusively male gold rush. Levy’s book debunks that myth. Here a variety of women travel, work, and write their way across the pages of western migrant history."-Choice "One of the best and most comprehensive accounts of gold rush life to date"ˆ–San Francisco Chronicle

"I have counted, in the last ten miles three hundred sixty-two wagons, which in the States cost about $120 each. The cause of so many wagons being abandoned, is to endeavor to save the animals and reach the end of the journey as soon as possible by packing through; the loss of personal goods is a matter of small importance comparatively."Between 1846 and 1869 more than 400,000 settlers took the perilous journey across the wide and wild spaces of the Western United States to settle in the coastal territories. James Abbey was just one of them and he kept a journal of the trip.The sheer determination, foolishness, or a combination of both that motivated pioneers to uproot their lives and families and risk it all is exemplified in Abbey's statement above. Once on the trail, there was often no going back and great sacrifices were exacted to reach the destination.This long-forgotten, out-of-print book is available for e-readers for the first time. Journey back in time with Abbey and find out just how hard it was, how much it cost in hard-earned dollars, and what the rewards were. He published this record, in his words:"Being a daily record of incidents of the trip over the plains, the desert, and the mountains, sketches of the country, distances from camp to camp, etc., And containing valuable information To emigrants. As to where they will find wood, water, and grass at almost every step of the journey."Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
