This review is from: The Gold Rush: A Primary Source History of the Search for Gold in California (Primary Sources in American History) (Library Binding)

The Gold Rush joins others in Rosen's fine 'Primary Sources in American History' series, using primary source material to document the search for gold in California. From old sketches and maps reproduced for illustration to newspaper articles from the times, this re-creates the American Gold Rush history and experience for grades 4-7 and will prove an important addition to any elementary library on California history.
