Book Description
Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of "Six Months in the Gold Mines: From A Journal of Three Years Residence In Upper and Lower California, 1847 to 1849." Unavailable since 1850, this important work is a first hand account of one "49'ers" personal experience during the great California Gold Rush, shedding important light on one of the most exciting periods in the history of not only California, but also the world. Compiled from journals written between 1847 and 1849 by E. Gould Buffum, a native of New York, "Six Months In The Gold Mines During The California Gold Rush" offers a rare look into the day to day lives of the people who came to California to work in her gold mines when the state was still a great frontier.
