| Notes: | A history of the American West — men like John Sutter, whose dream of paradise was shattered by the California gold rush; Brigham Young and the Mormans who tamed the desert: and the silver kings and miners who developed Nevada's Comstock Lode and settled the Rockies. And women — like the heroic Tamsen Donner who challenged the vast uncharted snowfields of the Sierra Nevadas; Juliet Brier, the first woman to conquer Death Valley; the beautiful Rose of Sharon, who caused California's greatest political-murder scandal. There is nothing else in history to match the stories of those who braved a wilderness to bring a new nation to the shores of the pacific. |
