About This Item
Spokane: Arthur H. Clark Company, 2004. First Edition. 397pp. Octavo [24.5 cm] Blue cloth with the title silver stamped on the front board and backstrip. Near fine. Signed by the author and the series editor on the half-title, with the volume prospectus laid in. Volume 7 in the ambitious and well received 'Kingdom in the West' series. From 1846 to 1857 Mormons played a prominent and crucial role in shapingevents in California and the West. They were the first American settlers of San Francisco. Without them John Sutter would probably not have built his sawmill, and gold would not have been discovered in 1848. Mormons were present at the first gold discovery, made many of the initial 'Strikes,' and accumulated some of the first fortunes in the gold fields. They opened new routes between California and the Great Basin. Clark & Brunet 12.
