This beings in 1846 when Mexico loses the war against the United States. What is now considered central California, a ranching family faces the intrusion of Americans squatting on and chipping away at their land in the hunt for gold. This is a very short book and nothing really happens until the last 50 pages so it was slow going and I wish their was more historical content than just daily life on a ranch.
megnews That‘s really to bad. So much potential on the subject since it‘s rarely covered. 2y
