During the California Gold Rush, many of the miners and merchants who hoped to strike it rich left behind letters and journals. Of those, William B. Lorton's is perhaps the most informative and complete. In this volume, LeRoy and Jean Johnson bring Lorton's writings to life with meticulous research that broadens the context of his narrative.
