Retracing Leonard Jackson Harless’s 1858 Ebbetts Pass Trans-Sierra Route into California
This July, my husband and I took a road trip retracing the high Sierras pass and emigrant route that his 2nd and 3rd great grandfathers (and 3rd great grandmother) took in 1858 when the family emigrated from Missouri to California. We got to actually walk on stretches of the old route.
