註釋This is the true story of Andrew and Annie Dott, 19th century Scottish Immigrants in America. After experiencing life in New York, Kentucky and Mississippi, the married couple ventured to the newly formed state of California where they settled in San Francisco. Both Andrew and his wife were entrepreneurs and pioneers. He was a merchant, an investor and gold miner; she took in boarders and eventually managed Sausalito's upscale Alta Mira Villa. The accounts of their lives are drawn from personal letters, newspaper articles and advertisements as well as from historical events relevant to the time period in which they lived. The well documented lives of Andrew and Annie Dott provide a unique perspective into the human experience in 19th century America.
