The mass migration, known as the Gold Rush, reshaped the United States by accelerating the immigration to the far West. This book explores how this pivotal era introduced new ideas about work and wealth, luck and greed, and success and failure, into the way Americans looked at their lives, their livelihoods, and most of all, themselves.
