The West changed Daniel Best’s life — but not how he expected. Along the way, he went from fighting Indians to being friends with them. Once the wagon train reached its destination, Daniel went his own way to try his hand at gold mining followed by working in sawmills and eventually building his own sawmill.
While working in his sawmill, an accident occurred that changed the course of his life; he lost the first three fingers of his left hand. He then moved to Sutter County, California to work with his brother Henry Best on his ranch where he discovered his calling as an inventor.
