Description

Echoes of the Past is a collection of the famed Californian General John Bidwell’s biographical reminiscences that were published in The Century Magazine from 1890 to 1891. The memoir focuses on Bidwell's overland journey to California, with some attention to his early years in the West, his acquaintance with Johann Sutter, and early gold discoveries.

This compilation will take you back to this turbulent time in California’s history, when the Gold Rush was just beginning, and pioneers were making the long trek to find their fortune in the Golden State.

Within these pages, General Bidwell paints a vibrant picture of the beautiful and rugged land that was early California.
