Seeing the Rush Firsthand

This remarkable book is now available in paperback and should be read by anyone interested in the West, the Gold Rush, California history and those who just like a good yarn. If you like first-hand accounts and a gissipy view of well and lesser-known icons of the fields this is for you. Is it strictly historical? Who knows. Will you get a human view of names that have perhaps been only names before? Yes. From Black Bart to Capt. John Sutter. For the price it is hard to go wrong.
