What loneliness, what privations, what trials of every kind, went to the first steps of even that rich and lovely country of California."It was not gold that drew Jessie Fr�mont to California in 1848. Gold had not yet been discovered when she left on her journey. The Fr�monts were there to make a new life.When bad investments bankrupted the Fr�monts, Jessie turned to writing to help support the family.
