Foreword f Page 2 Back in the days of '49, the eyes of the world turned toward California. By boat and by prairie schooner, on horseback, and even afoot, men journeyed toward the West, to the land of blue sky and fertile valleys and swift water rushing through canyons of scrub- dotted rock. The lure of gold possessed them. Clerks and laborers, doctors and stevedores, lawyers and janitors, college students and stokers, merchants and tramps, men of large cities, of small towns, and of isolated farms-thousands upon thousands of them relinquished the promise of the present for the greater promise of what California held in store. So they journeyed westward in search of gold, adventurers at heart, Americans all, to give life and vitality to the new country, and to gain fortune for themselves in the acquisition of raw gold.-Earl Reed Silvers, The Spirit of Menlo, D.
