From 1846 to 1857 Mormons played a crucial role in shaping events in California and the West. They were the first American settlers
of San Francisco, and without them, John Sutter might not have built his sawmill and thus discovered gold in 1848.

The first-person accounts of pioneer Mormons, both men and women, offer new perspectives on myths and realities of gold rush California.
