About the book

E. Gould Buffum's The Gold Rush is a first-hand account of California during the Gold Rush of 1849. Buffum describes the journey to the mining regions, the rough settlements that sprang up around the diggings, the hazards and hopes of prospecting, and the rapidly changing society created by the search for gold. His observations provide a vivid contemporary picture of one of the defining episodes of nineteenth-century American expansion.
