Synopsis:
Presents a history of the California Gold Rush, from the 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill to the installation of mining machinery in 1854
From the Inside Flap: 4, 1848, James Marshall discovered a small nugget of gold in a stream near Sutter's Mill, California. Though he tried to keep it a secret, word spread through the country like wildfire. Before the year was out, the great American Gold Rush had begun. Here's a true-life story that re-creates a time when people from all walks of life dropped what they were doing and headed west with picks and shovels in the hope of finding riches--and added a brand-new chapter to our country's history.
