Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When The World Rushed In was first published in 1981, the Washington Post predicted, “It seems unlikely that anyone will write a more comprehensive book about the Gold Rush.” Twenty years later, no one has emerged to contradict that judgment, and the book has gained recognition as a classic. As the San Francisco Examiner noted, “It is not often that a work of history can be said to supplant every book on the same subject that has gone before it.” Through the diary and letters of William Swain--augmented by interpolations from more than five hundred other gold seekers and by letters sent to Swain from his wife and brother back home--the complete cycle of the gold rush is recreated: the overland migration of over thirty thousand men, the struggle to “strike it rich” in the mining camps of the Sierra Nevadas, and the return home through the jungles of the Isthmus of Panama. In a new preface, the author reappraises our continuing fascination with the “gold rush experience” as a defining epoch in western--indeed, American--history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thousands of newspapers that were born on the far western frontier in the nineteenth century contributed to the West's social and political development. Newspapers also played an integral role in the region's economic growth because, whatever else motivated their publishers, newspapers were businesses. The Business of Newspapers on the Western Frontier examines the components of the western newspaper business between 1846 and 1890--circulation, advertising, labor, supplies, and other essentials--to show the kinds of problems frontier publishers faced in establishing and operating newspapers in the West. Starting with market conditions and the kinds of people who met the entrepreneurial challenges those conditions presented, the book moves through sources of income and principal expenditures to present a balance sheet that discusses reasons for the many failures and occasional successes. It shows that success or failure had more to do with business ability than journalistic prowess. In many respects frontier publishers' concerns mirrored those of small-town publishers everywhere, but the great distances and rapidly changing conditions of the West compounded the problems. The Business of Newspapers on the Western Frontier provides a behind-the-scenes look at newspaper operation in these challenging circumstances. In doing so, the book shows real people dealing with real problems and dispels many of the myths that cling to the frontier press.

Download or read book Mining California written by Andrew C. Isenberg and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An environmental History of California during the Gold Rush Between 1849 and 1874 almost $1 billion in gold was mined in California. With little available capital or labor, here's how: high-pressure water cannons washed hillsides into sluices that used mercury to trap gold but let the soil wash away; eventually more than three times the amount of earth moved to make way for the Panama Canal entered California's rivers, leaving behind twenty tons of mercury every mile—rivers overflowed their banks and valleys were flooded, the land poisoned. In the rush to wealth, the same chain of foreseeable consequences reduced California's forests and grasslands. Not since William Cronon's Nature's Metropolis has a historian so skillfully applied John Muir's insight—"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe"—to the telling of the history of the American West. Beautifully told, this is western environmental history at its finest.

Download or read book The History of the Gold Discoveries of the Northern Mine's [sic] of California's Mother Lode Gold Belt as Told by the Newspapers and Miners, 1848-1875 written by and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the chronological history of the gold rush and gold discoveries from 1848 through 1875, as viewed and reported by the newspapers and miners, on what was called the Northern Mines area of California's Mother Lode Gold Belt. The Northern Mines was that area north of the Cosumnes River, which included Placerville on northward. It included the region containing the South, Middle and North forks of the American River, the Bear River, the South, Middle and North forks of the Yuba River, and the South, Middle and North forks of the Feather River, plus all the other branches and tributaries that ran into the named forks and rivers. This book contains as many newspaper articles that could be found relating to the gold rush days. In using the newspaper articles from the golden era as printed, with their dates, this reveals just when the "New Diggings" as they were called, were found; where they were being made; how rich some of the diggings were; what type of diggings they were; the names of some of the prospectors who found some of the diggings or who were at the diggings and what they were taking out. There are tales of how some of the diggings were found and why some of them received the names they did. The overall purpose of this book is to give a full picture of exactly what was happening to as many different named diggings, locations, camps, and towns that came up in the Northern Mines area, and to give an account of events over at least a certain length of time, exactly as it was reported. To determine from just where each newspaper article within this book comes from, each of the newspaper articles used has first, the date on which it appeared in the newspaper, followed in parentheses by the name of the newspaper from which that particular article was obtained from.
