The Gold Rush of California<\/h2>\n

\"californiaThe largest migration in world history, of Overland pioneers traversing the continent on foot with wagons and horses, took place right here – beginning in 1848.

The migration west began much earlier, but it increased dramatically after the news spread.<\/p>\n

Gold Country Books can relate the historic details of yesteryear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Hence, California became a U.S. state in 1850.\u00a0Consequently, the railroads followed soon after.<\/p>\n

Little did I know what pleasure reading California historical books would bring me in my middle years of life. Transport yourself to the dusty trails and hardships of Overland pioneer life, or imagine a two year journey sailing around the bottom of South America to reach this desolate coast in the early 1800’s. Read these books below to get a glimpse into an Old California story. One you can only dream about, knowing what has become of it today.<\/p>\n
