Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Gold Discoveries in New Zealand In point of sensational effect, Otago was the first of the old provinces to appeal effectively to tho world. It was to Otago that the first real rush came from the other side, so famous for rushes. But few people in New Zealand are aware that the first discoveries in this country were made in Auckland, and that in the very year of the great discoveries that made a new epoch for the Australian Continent. Hargreaves was thought to have awakened by his finds at Bathurst only the sleeping spirits of the world of gold imprisoned in the rocks and gravels of Ballarat and Bendigo. Who does not remember the impressive picture of Farjeon, who imagined these spirits roused from their Blumber of ages by the sound of tho advancing picket? "Click, click, click," as they came nearer and nearer; and as they heard, the spirits grew wilder and wilder, welcoming the hour of their deliverance, ready to sweep into the fields of light and motion. What those fields were, what forces of energy and power were let loose, what vast changes were effected in the fate of the great continent by the side of the Tasman Sea, what fortunes were made and lost - these things and the tremendous changes they brought in their fervid train are part of another story - the story of the transmutation of Australia. It is one of the most striking stories in the history of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: In 1861 Gabriel Read discovered rich gold in Gabriels Gully [near Lawrence] triggering ... the great gold rush to Otago. One year later Hartley and Reilly panned 87 pounds of gold from the Dunstan Gorge of the Clutha River and a second great rush of miners swept into the province. From the poorest province in the young colony it became the richest. As eager prospectors pushed their way further up the Clutha River and its tributaries fabulously rich strikes were made in the Arrow and Shotover Rivers. Instant gold towns sprang up at Clyde, Alexandra, Cromwell, Arrowtown and Queenstown and the population of Otago rocketed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julius Vogel (1835&–99) dominated New Zealand politics in a way that no man had done before him and few have done since. He was behind the policy that transformed New Zealand from a collection of sparsely settled and isolated provinces into a unified nation, he cultivated trade connections and was an advocate of greater colonial autonomy and equal rights between men and women; he was an optimistic visionary. Raewyn Dalziel's definitive biography, Julius Vogel: Business Politician, traces both the career and the character of the man.

Download or read book Riches for All written by Kenneth N. Owens and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An event of international significance, the California gold rush created a more diverse, metropolitan society than the world had ever known. In Riches for All, leading scholars reexamine the gold rush, evaluating its trajectory and legacy within a global context of religion and race, economics, technology, law, and culture. The opportunity for instant wealth directly influenced a dynamic range of peoples, including Mormon military veterans, California Indian workers, both slave and free African Americans, Chinese village farmers, skilled Mexican miners, and Chilean merchants. Riches for All gives attention to the varying motivations and experiences of these groups and to their struggles with both racial and religious bigotry. Emphasizing gold rush social history, some contributors examine the roles and influence of women, workers, law-breakers, and law-enforcers. Others consider the long-term impact of this episode on California and the American West and on subsequent gold rushes in Pacific Rim countries and the Klondike. With lively and incisive strokes, these historians sketch the most broadly contextualized and nuanced portrait of the California gold rush to date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social history of New Zealand's gold rushes, as used by Eleanor Catton in her research for The Luminaries. A thorough and carefully researched history of the gold rushes in New Zealand. Based on sound scholarship and aimed at the general reader it's accessibly written in a clear, clean and lively style. The scope is the social history of the goldfields of colonial New Zealand, from the 1850s to the 1870s. The book opens with a survey of worldwide rushes in the late eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth centuries, when for the first time in history a great wheeling movement of gold diggers began to revolve from continent to continent. The main body of the book looks at all the rushes, large and small, that took place in the colony: Coromandel, Golden Bay, Otago, Marlborough, the West Coast and Thames. The early chapters of the main body survey rushes chronologically; the later chapters look at rushes thematically. 'I owe a debt of gratitude to . . . Stevan Eldred-Grigg's history of the New Zealand gold rushes Diggers, hatters & whores.' Eleanor Catton, The Luminaries
