Gold, Grit, Guns is the first book based on the only four surviving diaries written by miners who sought their golden fortunes on British Columbia's Fraser River in 1858. What was life like for those adventurers? How did their actions impact the creation of British Columbia? George Beam, an Illinois-born settler on Whidbey Island in Washington State, brought hopes of American annexation and distrust of First Nations. He left with a thousand dollars. Otis Parsons of Connecticut made money as a California merchant, then volunteered to build new roads from Harrison Lake to Lillooet. He used them for merchandising. The third miner, an unnamed Upper Canadian, befriended Colonial officials and First Nations people. He earned a thousand dollars, overwintered in Victoria, then drowned in the Cariboo gold rush in the 1860s. George Slocumb from Illinois suffered the fate of most -- increasing poverty and desperation. Background chapters present miners' costs, the first detailed study of 1858 mining practices, and the grim story of how mining culture compromised First Nations life. Gold, Grit, Guns is rich with 115 rarely seen illustrations of life on the Fraser in 1858 as well as maps of the area.

No other Western settlement story is more famous than the Donner Party’s ill-fated journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. But a few years later and several hundred miles south, another group faced a similar situation just as perilous. Scrupulously researched and documented, Grit and Gold tells the story of the Death Valley Jayhawkers of 1849 and the young men who traveled by wagon and foot from Iowa to the California gold rush. The Jayhawkers’ journey took them through the then uncharted and unnamed hottest, driest, lowest spot in the continent—now aptly known as Death Valley. After leaving Salt Lake City to break a road south to the Pacific Coast that would eliminate crossing the snowy Sierra Nevada, the party veered off the Old Spanish Trail in southern Utah to follow a mountaineer’s map portraying a bogus trail that claimed to cut months and hundreds of miles off their route to the gold country. With winter coming, however, they found themselves hopelessly lost in the mountains and dry valleys of southern Nevada and California. Abandoning everything but the shirts on their backs and the few oxen that became their pitiful meals, they turned their dreams of gold to hopes of survival. Utilizing William Lorton’s 1849 diary of the trek from Illinois to southern Utah, the reminiscences of the Jayhawkers themselves, the keen memory of famed pioneer William Lewis Manly, and the almost daily diary of Sheldon Young, Johnson paints a lively but accurate portrait of guts, grit, and determination.
