Cross the Atlantic, then the continent, and arrive at a California fruit ranch with your capital intact. Charles Dowsett offers a frank start-in-life guide for emigrants: the journey across America, the special advantages of fruit farming, a warning or two, and exactly how much money you will need. Practical emigration counsel from a man selling the dream honestly. Weigh the West before you sell everything to reach it.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
