California is an infamously tough place to be poor: home to about half of the entire nation's homeless population, burdened by staggering home prices and unsustainable rental rates, California is a state in crisis. But it wasn't always that way, as prize-winning historian Josh Sides reveals in Backcountry Ghosts. In 1862 President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act, the most ambitious and sweeping social policy in the history of the United States. In the Golden State more than a hundred thousand people filed homesteading claims between 1863 and the late 1930s. More than sixty thousand Californians succeeded, claiming about ten million acres. In Backcountry Ghosts Josh Sides tells the histories of these Californian homesteaders, their toil and enormous patience, successes and failures, doggedness in the face of natural elements and disasters, and resolve to defend hard-earned land for themselves and their children. While some of these homesteaders were fulfilling the American Dream--that all Americans should have the opportunity to own land regardless of their background or station--others used the Homestead Act to add to already vast landholdings or control water or mineral rights. Sides recovers the fascinating stories of individual homesteaders in California, both those who succeeded and those who did not, and the ways they shaped the future of California and the American West. Backcountry Ghosts reveals the dangers of American dreaming in a state still reeling from the ambitions that led to the Great Recession.

Leona Dixon Cox was known throughout northern California and Nevada as a homesteading pioneer, subject of articles and television interviews. From 1902 until her death in 1999, Mrs. Cox spent her life observing nature in all its glory and caprice. The homesteading process she details in her book took place during the Great Depression of the 1930s in the precipitous mountains of western Sonoma County. Mrs. Cox constructed her home and outbuildings of timber felled on her 640 acres. She built roads, hunted all the game needed for herself and her ailing father, who grew produce to supplement the game. Leona emerged a few years later as an independent rancher, all with an outlay of $5. She eventually ranched 1000 acres. She formed a musical group carried an accordion to the Saturday night country-dances of her period. She married, at age 69, John Cox, her widowed friend and neighbor. "We turned the Depression around," says Leona Cox, "and we had a good time doing it." Her campfire and classroom storytelling enthralled listeners for well over half a century.

The Franklin family began its odyssey in Northern California in the early 40's. After being married in Southern California they moved north and built a log cabin in Northern California. Within a year of their marriage, the family had a little boy, Johnny. A couple years later twins, Donald and Denny, were born. This is when Johnny started having his "dream." The book tells stories of Johnny and his brothers as they grow up. Later the eldest son (Johnny) gets married and he and his in-laws, Jack and Mary Jones, decide to move to Alaska and homestead there. A little while after the Jones and Johnny arrived in Alaska, the rest of the Franklin family decided to come north as well. Within a year the Jones and Franklins had built two cabins and Becka, Johnny's wife had a little baby, little Johnny. The families struggle through rough winters, wet springs and illnesses. Injuries occurred and Johnny kept dreaming the same dream. Later in the title came the deadly hunt, the house fire and the miracle. This book is the first in a series called 'The Franklin Family Odyssey.' David was born into a preacher's home in the late forties. He moved to Alaska as a married man in 1981. He was always an adventurer. In the 80's he staked an Alaskan homestead of forty acres and built a log cabin that next winter. He and Janice and their adopted daughter, Reyna, braved a winter in the cabin in the middle nineties. They learned various survival skills. Those long dark winter nights were a good time to reflect on the things of God. Some of the ideas for the fiction series, The Franklin Family Odyssey, were formulated in his mind way back then. Our author has a passion for God and has studied the Word concerning the happenings in the 'last days.'
