“ My mother (Martha Lord Otterson Anser, who arrived in 1848) was about 16 years of age at the time of her arrival in California. She rode the entire distance across the plains on horseback. She was a fearless rider and related a great many thrilling stories to me of her adventures on the way and after her arrival in California. ”
