Pursuing Eden- Matthew Gage: His Challenges, Conquest and Calamities Toys Janet Gould and army generalThis is an incredible story chronicling the triumphant accomplishments and frequent failures of a likeable, stubborn Irishman named Matthew Gage. It is a true story narrating his memorable decades living in Riverside, California, and his quest to acquire 640 acres of useless desert land known as Section 30.
