How did the forts work with thousands of people enclosed within stone walls with the untamed wilderness all around? Why did some soldiers dress in rags with no shoes while the generals in charge rode horseback and ate delicacies? How did it feel to be alive during that time in history? How did the flag really become official? This story shows you all the events as if you were living through them. Where on earth did a woman fit into that type of life? Read this and you will have a plausible idea. Fill in the holes in your California or American history while you enjoy this book! I loved it!
