Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an enthralling memoir by Chalkley J. Hambleton, chronicling his quest for gold in Colorado during the mid-19th century. Unlike many others, Hambleton invested in mining equipment and joined a group of fellow gold hunters, making his journey westward an intriguing tale of determination and perseverance. He vividly describes the harsh reality of crossing the Oregon Trail and encountering the Sioux and Pawnee, but also the breathtaking beauty of the land. Hambleton's observations about the mining process, miner communities, and his own personal experiences make for a fascinating read that dispels misconceptions about the gold rush era.

When errand boy Walter chases a mischievous pup named Dusty onto a steamship bound for the Klondike, he also meets Hal, an old prospector. The trio teams up for a grand adventure--from Seattle's Miners Landing to the icy shores of Alaska to the Golden Horseshoe Saloon to a frozen landscape with promises of riches underground--risking life and limb for a chance at making their fortune. Every miner dreams of gold, but will Walter, Dusty, and Hal be the ones to strike it rich? The Great Gold Rush Adventure includes these fun interactive features: Replica of the July 17, 1897, front page of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer announcing the arrival of the SS Portland with two tons of gold on board. Removable Miners Landing Outfitters flier with an actual list of the supplies Seattle merchants sold to gold rush prospectors. An artist's rendition of a cross section of the Portland, the famous ship that helped spark the gold rush. Booklet describing the miners' most important tools for striking it rich. A telegram, a card shark's marked playing card, and more! About the Historic Site When a ship bearing two tons of gold from the Klondike docked alongside the site of Pier 57 in 1897, it triggered a gold rush that thrilled the world and led to Seattle's establishment as a world-class city. The historical Minders Landing site, located on Seattle's waterfront, where almost 7 million tourists visit each year, is just steps from the Seattle Aquarium and the Pike Place Market. It is home to one of Seattle's most beloved tourist destinations, the Seattle Great Wheel, which 1 million visitors ride each year. The Great Gold Rush Adventure's audience includes visitors and locals to the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Western Canada, history buffs, and any child who thrills to a great adventure story!

Book excerpt: 'Tales of Trail and Town' is a novella written by Bret Harte. The book begins by describing the transformation of the mining camp of Rough and Ready after the discovery of the "Eureka" lead. With the influx of gamblers and saloon-keepers, the camp became more civilized with the building of a church and a school, but also more wicked with the introduction of borrowing, credit, and gambling. Eventually, the camp was renamed Atherly after Peter Atherly, the owner of the Eureka mine, who had given money to the town for waterworks and a hotel. However, the aristocratic title "Atherly of Atherly" suggested by the pastor's daughter was opposed for its possible infringement upon democratic principles.

Book excerpt: Have you ever imagined giving up your day job and heading for the hills in search of gold? Journalist Steve Boggan decided to do just that when the price of the precious metal scaled dizzying heights in the wake of the global financial crisis. Clueless, and with neither equipment nor experience, Boggan flew to California and followed in the footsteps of the '49ers', miners who fuelled the original Gold Rush of 1849. Along the way, terrified of bears, bubonic plague and rattlesnakes, he met a cast of colourful characters, including a former Navy Seal who risked his life every day and a man who once went on the run for five years in the mistaken belief that he was wanted by the law. In charming and witty prose, gold-fevered Boggan recaptures the excitement, the hopes and disappointments of the hunt, going beyond the story of modern prospectors to give a moving insight into the birth of modern America.

Book excerpt: Gold. For centuries people have been entranced by the riches it promises; thousands have gone wild in their search for it and surely there will be many more. After the Financial Crisis, the price of gold reached peaks never seen in history. All over the world, particularly in the United States, people with no experience of prospecting began shopping for shovels, pickaxes, gold pans, tents, generators, and all manner of equipment they had no idea how to use. And off they went mining. In 2013, Steve Boggan decided he wanted a piece of the action, flying to San Francisco to join the 21st century's gold rush in a quest to understand the allure of the metal – and maybe find some for himself, too. Meeting a selection of colourful characters dreaming of striking it rich, he gets a crash course in small-scale prospecting while learning about the history and economics of gold. He also takes us back in time to the original gold rush, two centuries ago, tracing the path of the first intrepid 49ers who trekked thousands of miles, risking death for the chance of unimaginable wealth. Written with Boggan's characteristic charm, Gold Fever is a hugely entertaining travelogue and a moving insight into a key period in the creation of modern America.
