Produktinformationen zu „Children of the Motherlode, 1856-1926: The Townsend Family and the Growing of the West (ePub)“

From the California Gold Rush to the mid-1920's, Bryant and Julia Townsend and their three children experienced the complexities and challenges of a growing American West. From Indian wars to gold strikes, from suicide to the San Francisco earthquake, the Townsends were caught up in the kaleidoscopic frenzy that was the emerging West. Relocating frequently, they embraced momentary riches and heartbreaking catastrophes faced by a vast number of immigrants, foreign and domestic, striving to survive on an expanding frontier. Born into two different worlds, Bryant from an American farm family, Julia from poverty-stricken Irish immigrants, their lives touched many others, a lumber dealer in Nevada's Washoe Valley, a Jewish butcher striking it rich on the Comstock, a young girl dreaming of romance in a Denver cotton mill, a celebrated mystery writer in Ventura, a one-legged convict serving time in San Quentin and a painter called 'one of the foremost artists of the Union'. Their family story is both unique and typical of thousands of other family stories that make up the tapestry of a growing West.
