New Book About Fiddyment Family Traces History of California Pioneers
David Fiddyment, a major donor to the School of Education and an innovative leader in California agriculture, and co-author Christina Richter have released Walk with me, I want to tell you something – The Story of the Roseville Fiddyment Family.
For 150 years the Fiddyment family owned and operated ranches in some of the most picturesque countryside in northern California. Their history has links to the Donner Party and the Gold Rush. It includes the struggles and triumphs of being one of the most successful long-term ranching families in the state. Seven generations of this family have called Roseville, California their home. This is their story. David, along with his wife Dolly, established the School’s first endowed chair the Dolly and David Fiddyment Chair in Teacher Education.
