The strong factual narratives in this richly illustrated book, already more detailed than state-adopted textbooks, are sprinkled with school-safe Web links to carefully vetted supplemental information.
The book by itself will stretch the minds of young historians; add the element of Web research, then encourage your students to compare and contrast the printed and online accounts. The narrative traces the history of the California gold rush after the initial discovery of gold in 1848, the rapid rise of boomtowns, and the end of the gold rush in the late 1850s.
