1929. The purpose of this volume is to depict life in California
during the eventful days of 'Forty-nine. While wide use has been
made of historical sources, this volume is not offered as a
monographic study but rather as a popular presentation or
interpretation of that period, the author having especially in mind
the interests of the lay reader rather than the critical historical
scholar. Contents: California Gold in Fact and Fable; John A.
Sutter, Lord of New Helvetia; Gold! Gold! Gold!; The Secret
Broadcast; Gold Fields of 1848; Nature's Treasure-Trove; The Miner
at Work; Miners' Ways; Vox Populi in the Diggings; Judge Lynch and
the Miners' Jury; Paper Towns and Easy Money; San Francisco, the
Mushroom City; Life at High Pitch; and The Golden State. See other
titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
