Description
Drawing on hundreds of letters, diaries, and first-hand accounts, the author reconstructs the experiences of nearly one million prospectors who descended on the American and Canadian West during America's great gold-rush era. Marks argues that the search for gold was the single most important force in the development of the American West. She includes the experiences of minorities, women, and families. Contains nine pages of black and white photos. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
