Rush to Destiny

The Epic Journey of Edward Fitzgerald Beale, Pathfinder of the American West

By: L.J. Martin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Based on the early life of the West’s most quintessential hero, Edward Fitzgerald Beale, this book will keep you on your toes.

Ned Beale crossed the country on horseback over 13 times. He was the hero of the Battle of San Pasqual, the leader of the great camel experiment, and carried the first evidence of the California gold rush to Congress. From there, Beale fought the slave trade, was an Indian agent in California, and so much more.

Beale's exploits eclipsed those of Fremont, Stockton, Custer, and even Kit Carson's, who said of Beale, "I can't believe this man, Ned Beale."

"What a fascinating character Ned Beale was! An intelligent and raucous read!" —David Brown, producer, Jaws and Cocoon, New York, NY
