"This is the story of a remarkable man and his equally remarkable wife--Joseph and Mary Ogle Zumwalt--who crossed the great Plains in 1849 from Joliet, Ill., to Sacramento, Calif. Three years later they returned to Joliet by way of Nicaragua and then made a second wagon trek to Sacramento. In 1850, they traveled to Joliet again by way of Nicaragua and returned to California this time by steamships. In retracing the Joe Zumwalt path through history, I have resisted giving him crfedit for accomplishments that I couldn't verify. I was told by a kinsman that Joe Zumwalt 'was the first white man to cast eyes on Lake Tahoe.' That may well have been but I have not been able to document it." [from "About This Book" at the beginning of the volume] The author, Kenneth Delaney Zumwalt is the great grandson of Joseph and Mary Ogle Zumwalt and a newspaperman for 40 years. Educated at Williams schools, Sacramento Junior College and the University of Maryland, he work on The Sacramento Union, The Stars and Stripes (during the war in Paris and Nice), and for the Copley Newspapers eventually working on the editorial page of The San Diego Union. Richard A. Zumwalt, who made the linoleum block prints which appear in this book, is the son of the author and the great, great grandson of Joseph and Mary Ogle Zumwalt. He served as art director and printer for several Los Angeles publications. An authoritative account of one of the pioneers of Sacramento. Signed by Author(s).
