In Association with Amazon.com Gold Rush Books Click here for books for young readers Roaring Camp : The Social World of the California Gold Rush by Susan Lee Johnson The California gold rush and the social and cultural forces it unleashed have become part of our historical and literary tradition. Johnson, professor of history at the University of Colorado, provides an excellent survey of the mini-universe that quickly developed as a result of the massive influx of wealth seekers into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, around the town of Stockton. While her story lacks the romanticism of a Twain or a Harte, it offers a hardheaded look at the ethnic and class diversity that frequently led to violent conflict. Yet this is not a one-sided account of the strong devouring the weak. Johnson shows that conflict frequently coexisted with tolerance and harmony, and the eventual outcome was a degree of peace and stability in a new and vibrant society. This is a well-written account that effectively mixes personal stories with broader historical trends. Gold Fever: California's Gold Rush by Carl Nolter January 24, 1848, was a day that changed everything. The flecks of yellow metal, found in the American River by James Marshall, proved to be the foundation of modern California. Fortune hunters succumbed to gold fever and flocked to the Sierra Nevada foothills in search of unlimited wealth. The myths of California's gold rush are the subject of legendary songs and tales. Fortunes were won and lost almost daily. The realities behind the popular images were hard and often bloody. Gold Rush tells the story as it really happened in words and pictures. Lavishly illustrated and printed in color throughout.
