Download or read book Tales of Trail and Town written by Bret Harte and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Tales of Trail and Town' is a novella written by Bret Harte. The book begins by describing the transformation of the mining camp of Rough and Ready after the discovery of the "Eureka" lead. With the influx of gamblers and saloon-keepers, the camp became more civilized with the building of a church and a school, but also more wicked with the introduction of borrowing, credit, and gambling. Eventually, the camp was renamed Atherly after Peter Atherly, the owner of the Eureka mine, who had given money to the town for waterworks and a hotel. However, the aristocratic title "Atherly of Atherly" suggested by the pastor's daughter was opposed for its possible infringement upon democratic principles.
Download or read book Gold Fever written by Steve Boggan and published by Oneworld Publications. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever imagined giving up your day job and heading for the hills in search of gold? Journalist Steve Boggan decided to do just that when the price of the precious metal scaled dizzying heights in the wake of the global financial crisis. Clueless, and with neither equipment nor experience, Boggan flew to California and followed in the footsteps of the '49ers', miners who fuelled the original Gold Rush of 1849. Along the way, terrified of bears, bubonic plague and rattlesnakes, he met a cast of colourful characters, including a former Navy Seal who risked his life every day and a man who once went on the run for five years in the mistaken belief that he was wanted by the law. In charming and witty prose, gold-fevered Boggan recaptures the excitement, the hopes and disappointments of the hunt, going beyond the story of modern prospectors to give a moving insight into the birth of modern America.
Download or read book Gold Fever written by Steve Boggan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold. For centuries people have been entranced by the riches it promises; thousands have gone wild in their search for it and surely there will be many more. After the Financial Crisis, the price of gold reached peaks never seen in history. All over the world, particularly in the United States, people with no experience of prospecting began shopping for shovels, pickaxes, gold pans, tents, generators, and all manner of equipment they had no idea how to use. And off they went mining. In 2013, Steve Boggan decided he wanted a piece of the action, flying to San Francisco to join the 21st century's gold rush in a quest to understand the allure of the metal – and maybe find some for himself, too. Meeting a selection of colourful characters dreaming of striking it rich, he gets a crash course in small-scale prospecting while learning about the history and economics of gold. He also takes us back in time to the original gold rush, two centuries ago, tracing the path of the first intrepid 49ers who trekked thousands of miles, risking death for the chance of unimaginable wealth. Written with Boggan's characteristic charm, Gold Fever is a hugely entertaining travelogue and a moving insight into a key period in the creation of modern America.
