Leander Bishop left McHenry County, Illinois, with his neighbors 8 April 1850 to seek his fortune in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. He wrote daily diary entries describing his experiences on the Morman, Oregon and California trails, telling about his life on the North Fork of the American River and recounting his adventures as he returned home in October 1851 via steamers and the Isthmus of Panama. The book includes a map of the claim and tables listing some of his expenses and daily value of gold removed from the river. Maps and current color photos of places Leander described on his adventure have been included.
