Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A.: Univ of Nebraska Pr, 1982 Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated. NO writing, marks or tears. 364 pages. First Bison Book Printing (August 1982). Synopsis The California Gold Rush! Except for the Civil War, no other event in nineteenth-century America caused such an upheaval. The discovery of gold in John Sutter's mill race, in that year of glory 1848, opened the West. It created the State of California. It inspired countless dreams of riches -- occasionally even satisfied them. And it sent thousands of otherwise sensible and sober men and women journeying desperately across deserts and trackless plains, through tropical swamps and into gales at sea -- "off to Californy." Gold Dust tells for the first time, in all its sweep, color, and variety, the authentic story of the forty-niners. It is an incredible tale, vividly alive with drama and anecdote and some of the most extraordinary characters ever to have played a role in American history. From the moment that the truculent carpenter James Marshall spots the first nugget below Sutter's half-finished mill (and almost immediately regrets it), we are caught up in the adventures and conflicts, ordeals, delusions, and triumphs that the gold-hunters experienced. Here is Sutter himself, dimly aware that his infant empire in the Sacramento Valley is doomed to be trampled into oblivion...the unfortunate John Woodhouse Audubon, son of the naturalist, whose overland company suffers the loss of its leader, the theft of half its funds, and a cholera epidemic -- before even setting foot on the trail...the inept pioneer Bill Johnston, racing west from Pittsburgh in fear that the gold would be all gone, only to turn round and race back again when he finds out what California is really like...long suffering trail boss J. Goldsborough Bruff, abandoned by his fellow Argonauts to his arthritis and the terrors of a Sierra winter. We watch, appalled, as a hapless (and mapless) party of Midwesterners rumbles inexorably into the desolate heart of Death Valley...as a frustrated and furious handful of shipless voyagers sets out for San Francisco from Panama, a distance of 3,600 miles, by Drawing upon a wide variety of documentary sources -- letters and diaries (many of them never before used or published), as well as contemporary newspaper and magazine reports -- Donald Dale Jackson shows us gold fever running like fire through the cities of the East. With the eager travelers we plod the long continental trails, fight mosquitoes and boredom on the Isthmus of Panama, pitch and roll on windjammers around Cape Horn ("Cape Stiff," sailors called it -- and jumped ship in San Francisco). We join them in the diggings and learn what they found there -- bonanzas, to be sure, but also disease, muscle-breaking toil, anarchy, and bigotry. And we watch as their golden dreams slowly tarnish and die... Immediate, rich in detail, here is history at its most irresistible, heroic, poignant, and terrible by turns. Like the Gold Rush itself, Gold Dust is full of the best and worst of a free and questing people, of their jokes and tall tales and calamities. Gold Dust takes us straight to the living core of an American epic. . Trade Paperback. Near-Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. (more information)
