Two years later, their lives were in turmoil.because their Rancho del Paso was located at a geographic crossroads that put them square in the middle of transformative, history-making events: the Bear Flag Revolt, and the American military conquest of California.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. New England stagemen followed thousands of bedazzled gold rushers out west in 1849, carving out the first public overland transportation routes in California.
