Overview


In Volunteer Forty-Niners, Walter T. Durham provides the first comprehensive examination of the role Tennessee and Tennesseans played in creating a new state and a new society on the West Coast. Drawing from such archival sources as personal narratives in letters and diaries, public records, and newspaper reports, Durham has woven a wealth of information into his recounting of their adventures.

Editorials

From the Publisher


Durham's stirring tale is its own reward. Probably the most valuable dimension of it is not about gold at all, but about the Tennesseans who went and stayed to make their mark in California.
--John Egerton, The Tennessean
