What Was the Gold Rush?





Hear the stories about the gold-seeking "forty-niners!" in this addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

In 1848, gold was discovered in California, attracting over 300,000 people from all over the world, some who struck it rich and many more who didn't. With black-and white illustrations and sixteen pages of photos, a nugget from history is brought to life!
