Title: Wayfaring strangers
Description: "When gold was discovered in California in 1849, the news spread like wildfire. There were three ways to get to those gold fields: by ship around Cape Horn; stern-wheeler through the Gulf of Mexico and overland to the Pacific; or overland by wagon train, horse and on foot. Those who survive their arduous journeys meet in California with unexpected results."--Publisher.
