Rush to Gold: The French and the California Gold Rush, 1848-1854
(Lamar Series in Western History)
Malcolm J. Rohrbough.
The 1848 California Gold Rush drew many wagons west. However, only half of the 300,000 gold seekers traveled by land; the other half traveled by sea. In The Rush to Gold, Rohrbough examines the Gold Rush through the eyes of 30,000 French participants. In so doing, he offers an important chapter to Gold Rush history, which occurred at a time of sweeping changes in France. Hiis extended research in French archives provides an international focus to pivotal events in mid-nineteenth-century America.
