Life on the Plains and Among the Diggings Book PDF Summary

"The discovery of gold in California began an emigration movement across the plains the like of which has been rarely seen. It also resulted in a flood of memoirs and journals describing the trip and the life of amateur miners in the gold diggings of California. One of the best of these narratives was written by Alonzo Delano, a citizen of Illinois beset with chills and fever, for whom his doctors prescribed the curious remedy of a trip to California--by ox wagon. He, in company with neighbors from his Illinois community, set out in the spring of 1849 and made the long trek to northern California with a typical wagon train of emigrants"--Foreword.
