Rush to Destiny (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781953944283)

Based on the early life of the West's most quintessential hero, Edward Fitzgerald Beale, this book will keep you on your toes.

Ned Beale crossed the country on horseback over 13 times. He was the hero of the Battle of San Pasqual, the leader of the great camel experiment, and carried the first evidence of the California gold rush to congress. From there, Beale fought the slave trade, was an Indian agent in California and so much more.

Beale's exploits eclipsed those of Fremont, Stockton, Custer, and even Kit Carson's, who said of Beale, "I can't believe this man, Ned Beale."

"L.J. Martin captures and relates Beale's experiences with great skill in Rush to Destiny." -early reader
