{"product_id":"rush-to-gold-malcolm-j-rohrbough-9780300181401","title":"Rush to Gold: The French and the California Gold Rush, 1848-1854","description":"The California Gold Rush began in 1848 and incited many \"wagons west.\" However, only half of the 300,000 gold seekers traveled by land. The other half traveled by sea. And it's the story of this second group that interests Malcolm Rohrbough in his authoritative new book, \u003ci\u003eThe Rush to Gold. \u003c\/i\u003eHe examines the California Gold Rush through the eyes of 30,000 French participants. In so doing, he offers a completely original analysis of an important--but previously neglected--chapter in the history of the Gold Rush, which occurred at a time of sweeping changes in France. Rohrbough is the author of \u003ci\u003eDays of Gold\u003c\/i\u003e, which is generally accepted as the essential text on the subject. This new book comes out of his extended research in French archives. He is the first to provide an international focus to these pivotal events in mid-nineteenth-century America. \u003ci\u003eThe Rush to Gold\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to the fast-growing field of transnational American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm J.
