Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of French Guiana, a South American territory with a checkered past. The author draws on his firsthand experience to provide a detailed account of the region's gold rush in the mid-19th century. From the initial discovery of gold to the subsequent influx of fortune seekers and the establishment of mining operations, this book paints a vivid picture of a transformative era in the region's history. The author also examines the social and economic impact of the gold rush, highlighting the challenges faced by the local population and the complexities of colonial rule. Through a rich exploration of archival materials and personal accounts, this book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of French Guiana's past and sheds light on the broader history of gold rushes and their impact on frontier societies.
