Book excerpt: "The Golden Promise, a paddle-wheel steamer, left New York in April of 1851 and reached San Francisco in July of that year, the first ship of its kind to round Cape Horn and to enter river service in California. The author has linked the story of the ship and its crew--particularly Cap'n Rob and Alex McTaggart, who share honors as the hero--with the California Gold Rush in a way that adds zest to that period of history."--Jacket
