I just received my copies of Fortune’s Frenzy: A California Gold Rush Odyssey. Be sure to visit my Facebook page to see my box opening video. The official release date is September 1. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to see my work in print–in hardcover, no less. You can order a copy at any book retailer. If you’d like a signed copy, you can order at the link on my sidebar (or below) or at my author website. Thank you, all my lovely blog readers!
Congratulations!

Wow, how exciting! We visited an old gold mine in Amador County, CA and the tour left me with a lot of questions about the exploitation of the (mostly immigrate) workers.

Thank you, Janis. The mines in Amador county were big corporate beasts. That was more common later in the rush and later in the century. Still, miners came from around the world and were terribly discriminated against, even when segregated in their own ethnic mining camps.
