Emma's Reviews > Jubilee Trail

The end of every trail was the start of another; you never knew where you were going, but you had to go all the same.

Fascinating. I did not know most of the history presented in this book. I had no idea California and Texas had not originally been American, just that there had been a war with Mexico. My first Bristow was Calico Palace and this book, in terms of chronological order would come directly before it. I’ve read about Sutters Fort and the goldrush but without the context of San Francisco being so newly formed.
