They arrived by wagon train and by water, enduring the limitless miles of the Truly Amazing Plains and the frozen passes of the Sierra Nevada. They were guys like Linus Rawlings, a sleepless heir of Indian nation who’d went east to view the sea but quit his heart—and his home—in the West. They were ladies like Lilith Prescott, a good, lively beauty who fled her household and dropped for a betting person in the middle of the frontier platinum growth. These groundbreaking ladies and men sowed the seeds of the country with their courage—and with their bloodstream.
