I love reading memoirs from the past,especially from this time period.I read it when I was in high school and always wanted to read it again now,so was excited when I actually found it.
The author is very detailed and deiscriptive of the "Gold Day Rush" times.She has a beautiful way of writing a style long lost to us.That alone makes it come alive for the reader.Its simple reading,but puts you there...
