Synopsis
The California Gold Rush was only the first of a series of rushes that brought the first permanent settlers to much of the Far West between 1848 and 1880. Despite a flood of popular writings on separate mining regions, this book is the first to view the entire movement as an integral part of the settlement process. The author displays a thorough knowledge of all aspects of western mining: geology, technology, and economics, as well as history. His emphasis is not on bad men and vigilantes but on the ingenious contrivers of new techniques and machinery, the hardheaded capitalists who subsidized the development of the most promising mines, the builders of the transportation routes needed to link mining camps with markets. "A long-needed book, rising far above the usual superficial romantic nonsense that surrounds the subject."-- Virginia Quarterly "With a fresh, penetrating approach, Paul strips away the glamor and views the mining frontiers not only in their bearing on national development, but also in terms of their interrelationship with each other."-- American Historical Review

    I was impressed with the quality of the item, the interaction between the Seller and I, and also the attention to detail in the description and packaging. The Seller even combined shipping for me and did this readily. I would definitely deal with this reputable Seller.

    I have shipped MANY books sold by the Sacramento Book Den's store on eBay. We carefully pack books to ensure they arrive in the same condition as when purchased. The plastic wrap used by this seller provided minimal protection to the book's edges, spine and cover. Also, the wrap was difficult to remove without damaging the book. But to be clear we are happy with our purchase and would use this seller again. Cheers.

    Will never use this seller again, I received 4 different scratched movies that I can’t watch, contacted seller to make this right and never received a response. Very disappointed.
