Description

The Gold Rush by E. Gould Buffum

An Account of Six Months in the California Diggings. In 1847, san Francisco eas a small and isolated hamlet. Two years later the discovery of gold had transformed it into a bustling city. From all over America men poured westeard, lured by the thought of wealth beyond their dreams. Some were successful, but many fell by the wayside, succumbing to hardships that only the strongest and most single-minded could overcome. This eyewitness account is a vivid, detailed description of the continual struggle for survival, contrasted with the gambling and drinking that whiled away the long weeks of enforced idleness – a description of the harsh reality that, for so many, quickly took the place of dreams.
