This book talks a lot and has 250 pictures many of them in full color of the gold rush this is considered the authority on the 1849 gold rush in California Sutters Fort. I have to wonder about the motivation of some of these people are advertise the gold rush if it was it to make money but because to say that there was a continuous line of gold North South 150 miles and 70 miles and breath is a major exaggeration. In rich language in full detail this book describes the selling of California with a lot of beautiful color photos. This is an interesting an excellent book if you're interested in the gold rush in California 1849. This is a new looking coffee table size paperback book with excellent color photos. Even the US President Pierce lied about the amount of gold by Sutter's Fort in California.He said there was plenty to make their fortune for everyone. Thousands of mainly men came all over the world to " make their Fortune in Gold." When will people learn if it sounds too good to be true; it is."
