James Galloway came to the gold fields of Downieville, California with the Gold Rush of 1849. There he met an unforgettable old prospector named Tom Turner. Little did he know that his life and that of his only child Agnes would become attached to the Turners in an unyielding bond. This is the story of friendship and brotherhood, showing how some are pushed to the front and held there by the strength of family and friends. Behind Every Hero is backed by 15 years of research and is documented with facts and a bibliography.
