Book excerpt: La ruée vers l'or en Californie est une période d'environ huit ans (1848-1856) qui commença en janvier 1848 par suite de la découverte d'or à l'est de Sacramento, dans l'actuel État de Californie (États-Unis). Au début de 1849, la rumeur de la ruée vers l'or avait fait le tour du monde et un nombre écrasant de chercheurs d'or et de commerçants commença à arriver de presque tous les continents. Fiction écrite sous la forme d'un journal intime, celui d'Alfred T. Jackson, du comté de Litchfield, Connecticut, en tant que prospecteur d'or, de 1850 à1852. Il y décrit les épreuves et les tribulations auxquelles il fait face dans sa recherche de richesses. Il s'agit d'une représentation riche et vivante de l'exploitation minière de l'or avec des récits de pionniers voyageant par terre, l'arrivée de travailleurs étrangers, en particulier les mineurs chinois, et contient de nombreux détails de la façon dont les quarante-niners comme Jackson se divertissaient, dépensant finalement les pépites qu'ils avaient trouvées.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of a Forty-Niner: John E. Brown Wednesday was a wet day, raining very hard. I remained in my room and wrote letters and otherwise busied myself with mending in prep aration for a long journey, it being quite restful. On Thursday, Harris 8; self start ed out and made our purchases of equipment, but did not finish. To morrow, we must try again. In the afternoon, we went out to the finest portion of the city, and were much disappointed in finding everything in a filthy condition. No care is taken of streets or buildings. Everyone is on a run, and scarcely turns around to observe a fine building. Much fever is exhibited, and interest in the emigrants who purchase fire arms, etc., I was delighted on Friday, when Mason very unexpectedly dropped in to our rooms having arrived the night before at midnight. I had my daguerreotype taken to put in a gold locket to send home to my sister Elizabeth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important and memorable events of the United States' westward push across the frontier came with the discovery of gold in the lands that became California in January 1848. Located thousands of miles away from the country's power centers on the east coast at the time, the announcement came a month before the Mexican-American War had ended, and among the very few Americans that were near the region at the time, many of them were Army soldiers who were participating in the war and garrisoned there. San Francisco was still best known for being a Spanish military and missionary outpost during the colonial era, and only a few hundred called it home. Mexico's independence, and its possession of those lands, had come only a generation earlier. Everything changed almost literally overnight. While the Mexican-American War technically concluded with a treaty in February 1948, the announcement brought an influx of an estimated 90,000 "Forty-Niners" to the region in 1849, hailing from other parts of America and even as far away as Asia. All told, an estimated 300,000 people would come to California over the next few years, as men dangerously trekked thousands of miles in hopes of making a fortune, and in a span of months, San Francisco's population exploded, making it one of the first mining boomtowns to truly spring up in the West. This was a pattern that would repeat itself across the West anytime a mineral discovery was made, from the Southwest and Tombstone to the Dakotas and Deadwood. Of course, that was made possible by the collective memory of the original California gold rush. Despite the mythology and the romantic portrayals that helped make the California Gold Rush, most of the individuals who came to make a fortune struck out instead. The gold rush was a boon to business interests, which ensured important infrastructure developments like the railroad and the construction of westward paths, but ultimately, it also meant that big business reaped most of the profits associated with mining the gold. While the Forty-Niners are often remembered for panning gold out of mountain streams, it required advanced mining technology for most to make a fortune. Nevertheless, the California Gold Rush became an emblem of the American Dream, and the notion that Americans could obtain untold fortunes regardless of their previous social status. As historian H.W. Brands said of the impact the gold rush had on Americans at the time, "The old American Dream ... was the dream of the Puritans, of Benjamin Franklin's 'Poor Richard'... of men and women content to accumulate their modest fortunes a little at a time, year by year by year. The new dream was the dream of instant wealth, won in a twinkling by audacity and good luck... [it] became a prominent part of the American psyche only after Sutter's Mill." While the gold rush may not have every Forty-Niner rich, the events still continue to influence the country's collective mentality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of a Forty-Niner Now and again there comes out of the dim past something which Opens up an hitherto unknown or forgotten page in history. A copper implement from a lake midden, a chipped arrow head from a cave, a deciphered hieroglyphic from the face of a granite rock, a ruined temple in an overgrown jungle by means of which we rescue a chapter that tells of men's works and men's lives, former gen erations, who cumbered the earth for a brief time and passed away and of Whose existence even tra dition is silent. There are fascinating revealments that excite a momentary interest only, for, barring the scientist, we live in the present, and how our remote ancestors throve or what they did gives us but little concern. The long ago is vague, the cave dwellers and the temple builders existed in fable land, and, while we concede the importance of the discoveries, we leave the study to the specialists and magazine writers and do not burden our mind with ancient history. This indifference not only ob tains with reference to the tribes and peoples who have disappeared off of the earth; it is equally true of comparatively recent events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western history is all the richer thanks to LeRoy and Ann Hafen, who have assembled a fascinating array of diaries and memoirs of forty-niners who set out from Salt Lake City toward California?s gold fields over the Old Spanish Trail. For many would-be gold miners, this dry, dangerous route was preferable to crossing the Sierra Nevada. The Donner party disaster was only three years old and fresh in the minds of many. In reality, the choice of the southern route did not ease travelers? efforts. The unremitting heat and lack of water killed more people and animals than the snows of the mountains. Jacob Stover?s narrative provides fine descriptions of these challenges, especially the difficulty in transporting supplies. Of added interest is the journal of Henry Bigler, a former member of the Mormon Battalion, who was the first person to record Marshall?s discovery of gold at Sutter?s Mill.
