A riveting true account of gold rush fever in mid-nineteenth-century America, rich with the thrilling exploits of daring fortune seekers and dangerous outlaws America was never the same after January 24, 1848. It was on that day that a carpenter named James Marshall discovered a tiny nugget of gold while building a sawmill at Sutter’s Fort, just east of Sacramento, California. Marshall’s find ignited a fever the nation had never known before, drawing people from all over the country to the West Coast with high hopes of getting rich quick. Over the next six years, three hundred thousand prospectors raced to the California gold fields to make their fortunes, leaving their lands and families behind in order to chase a dream of easy wealth, but all too often encountering a reality of lawlessness, disease, cruelty, and death. A former columnist for the New York Times, author Fred Rosen takes readers back to the seminal moment when the American dream exploded. Chock full of fascinating details, unforgettable characters, and shocking real-life events, the captivating true story of the California gold rush brings an era of unparalleled change to breathtaking life. Rosen’s enthralling history of the gold rush of 1848 demonstrates how this golden ideal was supplanted by a culture of selfishness and greed that endures in America to this very day.

Click this link to read a review of My Life In Camps During The War And More. These stories were written primarily for my nephews and nieces and other members of the family because they have no clue about what our history and what had happen during the second world war. There are 120,000 different stories from 120,000 of Japanese Americans who were put in the concentration camp and my story is just one of many. Many have suppressed the past and forgot about them. I feel the story must be told. This is just my story and how I remembered the past. Others have experienced a different life some good some bad. My parents really had a positive outlook on life and that is why I have no bitterness on what has happened plus I was a pre-adolescent child who wanted to enjoy playing outdoors.
