Edward Fitzgerald Beale was the quintessential American hero. No one did more for the American people or the American landscape than did Ned Beale. He crossed the country horseback 13 times, was the hero of the Battle of San Pasqual, fought the slave trade, carried the first proof of the California gold strike to Congress, lead the great camel expedition, built the first transcontinental wagon road, kept California in the Union, and so much more, ending his career as Minister to Austria Hungary, the most powerful empire in the world at the time. Beale was friends with Grant, Sherman, Stockton, Carson, Fremont, and on and on. Don't miss this true tale, written in novel format, of America's most unsung hero.
