The Lost Gold Rush Journals: Daniel Jenks 1849-1865
California Gold Rush history comes to life! Lost in the archives and never published, this recently discovered collection of Gold Rush journals chronicle America's Gold Rush era in astonishing detail. Explore the sights and sounds of historic California Gold Rush mining camps. Ride along with Daniel Jenks as he uncovers the mysteries of the Wild West, learns how to prospect for gold, and comes dangerously close to losing his scalp during the Northern California and Southern Oregon Indian Wars.

His firsthand account of Gold Rush life is rich in the color and singular culture of those California Gold Rush boomtowns, and it's delivered to us in the Argonaut's own words.
