The fever extended to the Atlantic coast. Men started on the nine-months' sail around Cape Horn or, crossing the pestilence- laden Isthmus of Panama, fought like wild animals for a passage on the dirty, crowded ships plying up to the Californian Coast. Others went overland, across the great plains of the West, braving starvation, the fever of the alkali wastes, and the danger of Indian attacks, and leaving a telltale track of broken wagons, dead animals, and human bones.-Muzzey, The American People, Ginn Cd Co., 1933- Life in California, too, was hard and rugged. The gambling dens and the drinking halls, the rowdyism and disorder created a situation that called for leadership and organization. Men of stern fiber rose to the occasion, leading the Forty-niners so that many who had intended to return to the East and to the far countries from whence they came, remained to make the Golden State their home. Chaos gave way to order, and laws and regulations culminated in the forma- tion of a state constitution. .X .5 N fr Wt f f ,, ,t i t 5 I t I 'Ethic g A' 1
