Lucien Maxwell: Villain or Visionary

By Harriet Freiberger

As 100,000 gold seekers raced to California in 1849, 31-year-old mountain man Lucien Maxwell had already crossed the Shining Mountains with John Fremont and chosen a different destiny: land, not gold. Purchasing almost two million acres of land over the next two decades, he welcomed everyone to his home, and his hospitality became legend. This work allows readers to be the judge of how Maxwell is remembered--villain or visionary?
