Turbulent Fortunes of McLane and Perkins Family
A sweeping tale follows McLane and the Perkins clan from wealth and scandal in early California to Nevada mines, Virginia City intrigues, and San Francisco reversals. Marriages, desertions, hidden partners, and a fortune’s rise and fall drive feuds, alibis, and a web of betrayals across Sacramento, San Francisco, and beyond. The saga ends with pursuit by outlaws and a warning of Apache danger as Florence’s fate hangs in the balance.
