1852 A trip to California

1852, Honor? Favier, 27 years old, decides to discover the world, as a response to his need to affirm his identity and to go out to meet others. California will be his destination at the time of the gold rush. He will witness as a spectator the birth of a new world. He was psychologically enriched by the contacts of all these immigrants, gold diggers, trappers, traders, adventurers, missionaries, but also Amerindians, living their lives and meeting their misery, their fear, their hope. Like Herodotus (H?rodote), he became a journalist and established a travel diary in which he detailed his journey. The tone of this story allows us to discover from the inside this western region of America in the middle of the 19th century. This journey taught him to see that pure forms hide in complex systems and that darkness is only a front veil. http: //scribe.jimdo.com
