Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trailblazers, entrepreneurs, heroes and rascals unearthed gold and diamonds north of the Mother Lode. At the northern mines, financiers of the Industrial Revolution developed their claims until the country's first environmental legislation dissuaded them. Ghost towns with vast cemeteries attest to historic changes. Gold Rivers of Northern California tells the story of native tribes, trappers, settlers and questionable heroes. The northern mines region remains little changed along the Feather and Yuba Rivers. The Yuba is the nation's richest gold bearing river and still productive 150 years after the gold rush. Gold Rivers of Northern California explores the history, geology and resources of California's Yuba and Feather Rivers wilderness, north of the popularized Mother Lode region of goldrush activity. The primitive conditions of early fortune seekers still prevail. Illustrations and maps are included and thumbnail sketches of the founders, bounders and citizens of the era. Early settlements are described as they roared and declined or developed new character and new foundations. Recreational and cultural programs, parks and museums today follow a diversity of populations through their shifting attitudes. Illustrations, bibliography and maps are included.

Book excerpt: When gold was found in Northern California, news of it spread like a wildfire during the spring and summer of 1848. At first, most people thought the reports were too good to be true, but as weeks and months flew by, they heard about more people striking it rich – and imaginations started to run wild. Tens of thousands of people started to dream about gold, and some of them left everything they knew to make the journey to California. It didn’t matter if you were black, white or brown – anyone could go. Even people in Central and South America, Australia, China, and Western Europe heard about the gold and made the journey. By 1855, hundreds of thousands of people had converged on California. In this study, the author shares diary entries from gold seekers, painting a detailed portrait of the frenzy that overtook the world, the lives of the miners, and how the move West changed the fabric of a nation. Without the dreams, hard work, and dedication of the miners who moved West, the United States of America would not be what it is today.
