He was the second governor of the State of California and he had opinions about pretty much everything. Some of his opinions are well worthy of consideration even today:
WIVES SHOULD BE CONSULTED ABOUT ALL IMPORTANT AFFAIRS
DAUGHTERS SHOULD BE TAUGHT A KNOWLEDGE OF BUSINESS
Peter Burnett wrote those words in 1880. By then he was already retired from the governor's office, a successful businessman, and a longtime pioneer of California. His adventures in Oregon and California are all the better for having been written by someone who risked everything to get there and helped develop the states in which he lived.
He was a lawyer, a gold miner, a storekeeper, and eventually the governor of California.
Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the westward expansion that changed the country forever.
For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
