Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You only die once," Seth said. "Don't let this be your day. Turn around and go back into the Longhorn and have a drink." Suddenly there was the double whisper of guns leaving leather holsters. The distinct smell of gunpowder filled the air, with gun smoke fogging the deadly street. The governor opened his side desk drawer and tossed a circled star. With quick hands he caught the star in the air and then looked at it. It read California Ranger. Citizens of California were disappearing in the gold fields of the Mother Lode. Governor Thaddeus Brown decided it was time to take action when his daughter Darla's fiance hadn't been heard from after he had left to seek his fortune in the rugged Sierras, and another marshal had been gunned down in Nevada City. It was time to resurrect the California Rangers and he knew just the man for the job. Seth Gentry felt it was a daunting task but couldn't turn down the pleas of the beautiful Darla Brown. "An exhilarating ride through the California Mother Lode that's sure to please the avid western fan. - Major Mitchell, author of Mokelumne Gold."

This book was released on 2000-12-17 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Bancroft Prize The world of the California Gold Rush that comes down to us through fiction and film is one of half-truths. In this brilliant work of social history, Susan Lee Johnson enters the well-worked diggings of Gold Rush history and strikes a rich lode. Johnson explores the dynamic social world created by the Gold Rush in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of Stockton, charting the surprising ways in which the conventions of identity—ethnic, national, and sexual—were reshaped. With a keen eye for character and story, she shows us how this peculiar world evolved over time, and how our cultural memory of the Gold Rush took root.

Download or read book The Robin Hood of El Dorado written by Walter Noble Burns and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1932 and never reprinted since, this historical drama re-creates the life and adventures of Joaquin Murrieta, a Hispanic social rebel in California during the tumultuous Gold Rush. Published during the Great Depression, at a time of mass deportations of Hispanos to Mexico, this sympathetic portrait of Murrieta and Mexican Americans was a unique voice of social protest. The author romanticizes the pastoral society of Mexican California into which Murrieta was born and introduces the protagonist as a quiet, honest, unpretentious, and reserved resident of Saw Mill Flat, California. But the rape and murder of his wife, Rosita, by racist Anglo miners unleashes his vengeful rage. Picking up his pistols, Murrieta tracks and kills Rosita's murderers and defends Hispanos against violence and dispossession by rampaging gold rush miners. Richard Griswold del Castillo discusses the significance of Murrieta to twentieth-century Mexican Americans and Chicanos and of Burns's history to contemporary understanding of the mysterious social bandit.
