Description
The California Gold Rush began in 1848 and incited many?wagons west.? However, only half of the 300,000 gold seekers traveled by land. The other half traveled by sea. And it?s the story of this second group that interests Malcolm Rohrbough in his authoritative new book, The Rush to Gold. He examines the California Gold Rush through the eyes of 30,000 French participants. In so doing, he offers a completely original analysis of an important?but previously neglected?chapter in the history of the Gold Rush, which occurred at a time of sweeping changes in France.
