Well done short account of his time in the Mormon Battalion and how it was to be in on the discovery of gold in California in 1848. He missed his mother too much to stay around and get rich! But he survived to an old age and went back for the 50th anniversary of the discovery (most of the others there died early). ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Azariah Smith wrote one of only two contemporary eyewitness accounts of the discovery of gold by John Marshall at Sutter's Mill, California, in January 1848. Smith, at eighteen a member of the Mormon Battalion, recorded the experiences of that far-traveling unit, including its march across Sonora to assist in the conquest of California during the Mexican War and its opening of wagon roads over the Sierra Nevada and Salt Lake Desert, which would be principal routes of the forty-niners. His journey, thoroughly introduced and annotated by David L. Bigler, past president of the Oregon-California Trails Association, is a compelling account of an average citizen experiencing the making of history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
