Full Description
Beginning in the 1850s, entrepreneurial Jews made their way across the country by wagon, sailed for months around South America's Cape Horn and hiked through the isthmus of Nicaragua to seek their fortunes in California. An enchanting history of Bay Area pioneer families, inventively constructed with letters, old photos, and clips from Westerns.
