Now Michael White (and the state of California) are headed into a historical transition period and things are gonna get complicated. Without givin' too much away, he's going to be headed off on the Old Spanish Trail and it's really impossible to convey just with words the impact of that road and what it meant to the settlement of the United States. Remember, this is a kid who grew up in the English countryside and then spent the next 20 years or so on ships. Now he's headed straight into the desert. I found this video on Youtube promoting a musical score called the "Old Spanish Trail Suite," and I think it does a good job of showing some of the sights and scenery that Michael White would've experienced on his journey.
