Sam Brannan and the California Mormons

Biography of Samuel Brannan (1819-1889), who led a shipload of Mormon pioneers from New York around the tip of South America to Yerba Buena (later San Francisco), California in 1847. Brannan and some of the other pioneers met some of the Mormon Battalion, and were there when gold was discovered at Sutter's Fort. Some of these and other Mormons were early colonists in California, and this biography serves serves to emphasize the "... full impact of the Mormon influence on California's history ..." (p. ix).
