Arriving late at Salt Lake City, Granger joined the wagon train that took the "southern route" to Los Angeles where he took up the practice of law and was elected District Attorney. In 1857, Granger moved to the northern California city of Oroville, and later served two terms in the state legislature. Early California Travels Series XLVII. Signed by Hafen on the title page.
