Jolting in the saddle for four days and nights over 600 rough miles peopled with hostile Californios, Lean John Brown galloped from embattled Los Angeles to fetch reinforcements from San Francisco Bay.

Packed with daring deeds and close escapes (Brown leaped a ravine on horseback to escape pursuers, then ran 27 miles on foot after his horse was shot), this true tale of adventure enlivens a history of 1840s California from the Hawk’s Peak incident and the Bear Flag Revolt to the Battle of the Old Woman’s Gun.
