Summary: "California, 1849-1913; Or, The Rambling Sketches and Experiences of Sixty-four Years' Residence in that State" by L. H. Woolley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's firsthand experiences and observations from his journey across the plains during the Gold Rush era, as well as his life in California from 1849 to 1913, detailing the challenges and adventures faced by early pioneers. The opening of the text captures the excitement and difficulties of the author's expedition from Vermont to California in 1849. It recounts the initial stages of travel, including joining a mule train and dealing with various hardships such as cooking mishaps and the threat of cholera. The narrative highlights antics in the camp, descriptions of the rugged landscape, and interactions with fellow travelers, setting a vivid scene of life on the California Trail. Along the way, Woolley reflects on the emotional toll of leaving home and the determination required to continue the journey amid adversity.
