More Details
Edward Daingerfield, age twenty-two, left Greencastle, Indiana, in 1850. He, along with his cousin Richard Chenoweth and best friend Louis Rudesill, crossed our vast, beautiful, and frequently terrifying country, assuming he’d spend a year or two in California, then return home—pockets full of gold—and marry the girl he’d left behind. Well… that’s not even close to what happened!
The trip was longer and even more dangerous than they had planned. But, along the way, they met people and had adventures they would never forget.
Once in California, Edward did discover gold—and much more. He also discovered a freewheeling, exciting lifestyle, where no dream was too big, and disaster lurked as an ever-present possibility. He found more opportunities in the new, golden state, than he’d ever contemplated. He also discovered a most unexpected love. How then, could he return to Indiana?
