Short Story Collections

Short stories of California when the transcontinental railroad was only a dream, when the Civil War was looming, and when the state was an eclectic mixture of argonauts from all over the earth. An exciting time, a tumultuous time, and a time of both conflict and conviviality. One of the stories, Dreaming a Way, is based on the true story of Ted Judah, who was the guiding light to finding a way across the Sierra, the route for the Transcontinental Railroad, and has interactive lengths so you can learn more about that instance.
