John Bidwell | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

1928. Edited by Milo Milton Quaife, secretary and editor of the Burton Historical Collection. This volume contains the recitals of the experiences of two migrants from the Middle West to California, John Bidwell and John Steele. Bidwell's narrative chronicles the displacement of the California of the old regime by the newcomers. While Steele's is a realistic and typical portrait of the common run of miners' experiences and affords an excellent picture of the hazards and thrills, the joys and disappointments suffered by the Argonauts.
