More about the book

The California Gold Rush, ignited by James Marshall's 1848 discovery of gold, attracted thousands of miners, known as forty-niners, who risked everything for fortune. While men rushed to the mines, women managed homes and farms, gaining economic independence and opportunities, such as lucrative pie-baking. The rush spurred significant economic growth, leading to new towns and industries, including the creation of blue jeans. Despite the influx of hopeful miners from various backgrounds, Marshall himself died without financial gain, highlighting the unpredictable nature of fortune during this transformative period.
