"Attempting to fill an empty space in western literature, this book then is concerned with the search for and use of the southern overland route to California from the earliest Spanish penetration into the present United States Southwest to 1849, just before the country was inundated, comparitively speaking, by California bound argonauts"--Pref.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ONE PLACE THE STORY OF THE SOUTHERN OVERLAND ROUTES TO THE PACIFIC. The earliest European perception of California was of a wonderful land of mystery and plenty, a Terrestrial Paradise. California would become a magnet for generations of people seeking the good life. For the first time, Road to California brings together the story of the search for a southern overland route to California by Spaniards, Mexicans and Americans and the response of Native Americans to the invasion of their lands. The story ends in 1848 when discovery of gold in California's Sierra Nevada assured that the trails would be worn deep by the argonauts en route to the golden land. "This new volume in the American Trails series summarizes and condenses into a single work the published, translated diaries and reports of most of the explorers who sought overland routes from the interior to California...a useful general study, enhanced by three fine route maps." - The Western Historical Quarterly

It has been over 150 years since pioneers first went west from Missouri, across Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Nevada into California, across the vast plains, formidable mountains, and desert. Although the route known as the California Emigrant Trail is mostly unmarked today, much evidence remains. Photographer Greg MacGregor has researched the trail and traveled it for thousands of miles. He has photographed the eroded ruts, emigrant graves, pieces of burned and abandoned wagons. He has also photographed what has sprung up over the trail: KOA campgrounds, golf courses, housing developments. The images are poignant, sometimes amusing, occasionally downright terrifying, and always fascinating in what they reveal about pioneer overland travel. Showing these photographs with excerpts from emigrants' diaries and advice from nineteenth-century guidebooks, Greg MacGregor presents us with a vivid and intimate picture of what the journey was like for those with no idea of what lay ahead. At the same time he captures the ironies in the landscape of the late-twentieth-century West.
