In adventurous journeys the attention is usually on going forth and making discoveries. Getting back is just as hard, and homecoming can be as eye-opening as a voyage of discoveries. Thorne's epic return from the California gold fields takes him through a dozen Indian territories, some friendly, some hostile. Along the way he rescues a couple survivors of a massacre that make his caravan a traveling household. The return transforms what was left behind, which no longer exists.
