"...on the 28th of April, 1852 my mother loaded all her worldly possessions, consisting of a stock of provisions and a camp outfit, into a canvas covered wagon drawn by four yoke of oxen; and with her little family of five boys, aged respectively three, five, nine, twins of eleven, one of whom was myself, and a girl of thirteen years, she bade goodbye to Michigan, and took up her march of two thousand eight hundred miles..." Following her husband in his quest to quench his "gold fever," Elisha Brooks took her brood across the enormous expanse of the Western United States. Along the way they met hardship, saw great beauty, met with Indians, and finally made a home in California. During his lifetime, Brooks was a popular speaker on the topic of the westward expansion and he finally set the stories down in this book in 1922 for his grandchildren. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

“Stories to be told----” is a series of vignettes Marie Wren wrote and donated to the Fillmore Herald and Sespe Sun as a weekly column under the titles Facts Fun and Fiction and Fly-By several years ago. After years of collecting oral stories from local families and also doing lots of reading and research, she put together these interesting tales---some are true and some may be fiction, but each of them is fun! Learning about the way pioneers lived and thought and acted, adds to our own lives in many ways. Story telling brings the old ways and tales to life for each of us.
