Broken-hearted 20-year-old Edward Washington McIlhany (Mac) decided a way to heal his disappointment in love was to strike out west to the fabled 1849 gold strike in California. Leaving family and friends behind, with no assurance he'd ever see them again, he paid $300.00 to join a company formed for prospecting. In his autobiography, written sixty years later, he tells of losing friends on the perilous trip across the plains, meeting Indians, gun fights, getting scurvy, and the wild frontier of a mining town. McIlhany's book is a valuable resource on the prices of goods and services at the time, as well as a rip-roaring true tale of a time before the West was settled. He even sailed on the ill-fated Central America the year before it sank with over 550 souls on board. For the first time ever, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

La ruée vers l'or en Californie est une période d'environ huit ans (1848-1856) qui commença en janvier 1848 par suite de la découverte d'or à l'est de Sacramento, dans l'actuel État de Californie (États-Unis). Au début de 1849, la rumeur de la ruée vers l'or avait fait le tour du monde et un nombre écrasant de chercheurs d'or et de commerçants commença à arriver de presque tous les continents. Fiction écrite sous la forme d'un journal intime, celui d'Alfred T. Jackson, du comté de Litchfield, Connecticut, en tant que prospecteur d'or, de 1850 à1852. Il y décrit les épreuves et les tribulations auxquelles il fait face dans sa recherche de richesses. Il s'agit d'une représentation riche et vivante de l'exploitation minière de l'or avec des récits de pionniers voyageant par terre, l'arrivée de travailleurs étrangers, en particulier les mineurs chinois, et contient de nombreux détails de la façon dont les quarante-niners comme Jackson se divertissaient, dépensant finalement les pépites qu'ils avaient trouvées.

In 2013, Jack Dublin and family traveled to the Grand Canyon for a week of whitewater rafting on the Colorado River. When a monsoon rolled in, forcing them to higher ground, they sheltered in a cave unseen for nearly 150 years. What they found inside--several journals from the time of the Gold Rush--upended mainstream views of North American history, leading one authority to call the journals "the greatest manuscript discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls."

1849, California. The Gold Rush had begun. 300,000 gold-seekers left their homes, grabbed what they could and headed West to find their fortune. This is the diary of one of those intrepid men, and the trials and tribulations that he faces in his search for riches. From May 1850 through to June 1852 the life of Alfred T. Jackson, one of the forty-niners, was compiled by Chauncey Canfield. Jackson's dream was that "I would like to have enough capital so that I would not have to slave from sunrise till dark as I did on dad's farm." But like many others who moved out west to find gold it was not easy ... He lived a truly wild existence during his time in the west, sleeping rough, panning for gold and fleeing from gunfights with his dog and his best friend. First-hand accounts of early settlements like Nevada City and Rock Creek are given as well as descriptions of Grass Valley, the Sierra Mountains and the North and South Yuba Valleys. It is a rich and vivid depiction of gold mining with accounts of pioneer travelling overland, the infiltration of foreign workers, particularly Chinese miners, and contains many details of how forty-niners like Jackson entertained themselves with the nuggets that they found and spent. First published in 1906, this classic work provides a thorough insight into the real wild west and the life of the forty-niners. Chauncey Canfield (1843-1909) first published The diary of a forty-niner in 1906. Albion Press is an imprint of Endeavour Press, the UK's leading independent digital publisher.
