Jasper is off to California with dreams of gold that will fill his pans to overflowing. He has his shovel, his pick, and lots of energy-but finding gold isn't easy. Maybe farming wasn't so bad. . . . Punchy, rhythmic verse and wonderfully detailed illustrations depict the hopes, dreams, and realities of the settlers of the California Gold Rush of 1849 and bring this vibrant period in American history to life.
