A memorable, informative, and entertaining narrative record of life in the yesteryear of California frontier history,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Search of Gold (Paperback)
John Fisk was one of the men who flooded into California in 1849 as part of an immense gold rush. Fisk kept a journal of his experiences and that journal has now been edited by his great-great grandson Bruce Adam and published by Ara Pacis Publishers. In Search Of Gold: Journal Of Incidents On Land And Sea reads with all the drama and excitement of a novel, but is an authentic historical narrative that is a welcome and invaluable contribution to the history of what the '49ers experienced in reaching and working the California gold fields. Enhanced with a poem "The Cranberry Webb Worm" and an appendix laying out John Fisk's lineage, In Search Of Gold is a minor masterpiece of the journalist's art and a memorable, informative, and entertaining narrative record of life in the yesteryear of California frontier history.
