In April of 1849 a group of settlers from Marion County Iowa pulled up roots and joined thousands of other Americans in traveling across the western American continent in the hope of staking a claim to newly-found California gold. Very few had their dreams fulfilled. For George E. Jewett, who had left behind his wife and two young boys in the pursuit of his El Dorado, it meant never returning home, being divorced by his wife and starting a new life in California. What distinguishes Jewett from the tens of thousands who made that long trek is that he kept a journal of his odyssey and it survived. With this publication that record is being made easily accessible to all who wish to read a first-hand account of those amazing gold rush emigrants of 1849. The editor, Tom Jewett, is a descendent of George Enoch Jewett and has published two other books of Jewett family history. They tell the stories of Homer H. Jewett and George A. Jewett, who were the two Iowa-born sons of George E. Jewett. Obviously, adventure and keeping personal records ran in the family.
