Customer Reviews

A fascinating acount of the California Gold Rush.

I've read so many boring, all facts books on the California Gold Rush that I almost didn't read this one. I'm glad I did. Because "The California Gold Rush" by May McNeer is different. Although the text is accurate, it's also lively and filled with details on the lives of the ordinary yet fascinating people that took place in this great historical event, and colorful tales of mining camps and more. This is by far the best book on the California Gold Rush. Once you've started May McNeer's "The California Gold Rush," I guarantee you won't be able to put it down!
