The notes and study materials cover Chapters 1 through 7 of Randel's book and include additional notes and materials researched by Randel for the purpose of adding to his previous notes. Notable chapter subjects include Sam Brannan's childhood (Ch. 1); Joseph Smith and Mormonism (Ch. 2); Lola Montez (Ch. 4); Gold Rush in California (Ch. 4 & 5); Sam Brannan vs. Central Pacific Railroad (the Big Four including Collis Huntington) court case (Ch. 5); Brannan's divorce (Ch. 6); Mexico territory issues (Ch. 7); and the death of Sam Brannan (Ch. 7).
