As a historic archaeologist this book is invaluable for the history of the gold rushes from California to the Klondike and beyond.
A fascinating view of gold
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Fetherling writes a fascinating account of 19th century gold rushes. What is particularly fascinating about this book is level of interconnectedness that he has unearthed. Americans in Australia, Australians in Canada and more - it is a web of social intercourse unsuspected by most. Yet the impact of that interconnectedness has been significant. Looking for a good read, this is it!
