California, the land of promise, has been a magnet for over a century and a half, attracting speculators, poets, the hungry, the greedy, and adventurers. Their goal is the realization of the American Dream, seeking wealth, power, and prestige in the shortest time possible. Entering this world is 18-year-old James Macklin Chance, who leaves Pennsylvania in 1866 completely penniless to journey across the American continent to California, determined to make his fortune.
