There were only three routes to California. Only 40,000 of the estimated 90,000 “Forty-Niners” who attempted them ever reached San Francisco. A fifth of those who did make it were dead within six months.
I will never ever see California, especially SF, the same way again. I'll never not think of these journeys that people took to get there. Had no idea except about the covered wagons that everyone knows.
