1.Daughter of Fortune: A Novel (P.S.)Daughter of Fortune: A Novel (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I had previously read The Stories of Eva Luna and wanted to try another Allende book. I love her writing style. In Daughter of Fortune, the end dragged a bit and maybe she should have dropped a character or two. I also never really felt the love between the main character and the person with whom... more info

from Scholastic Inc.
Price: $8.76

Customer Review:
I would recommend this book to girls who like journal style writing. Kristiana Gregory writes this book as the main character, Suzanna's, diary. She uses the elements of suspense and surprise to hold your attention; including how, when, and where Suzanna and Clara's mother died. I learned a lot from... more info

from NAL Trade

Customer Review:
I gave the first two books in the series both 5 stars, but couldn't bring myself to do the same with this one. Although I would highly recommend reading the whole series in order - Gracelin O'Malley, Leaving Ireland, then 'Til Morning Light, and know once you read the first two you won't be able to... more info

4.The Age of Gold: The California Gold Rush and the New American DreamThe Age of Gold: The California Gold Rush and the New American Dream
from Anchor
Price: $13.46

Customer Review:
Mild disappointment. Too episodic and written just north of the level of a USA Today article. I think the author intends the narrative episodes to illustrate valid historic points, but he doesn't really tie the narrative and the theses together explicitly, and he isn't a good enough writer to make... more info

5.[no image]A Frontier Lady: Recollections of the Gold Rush and Early California
from Bison Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
As a historian an author of the book: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MISCELLANY, I rate this book with 5 stars for its excellent overview and in-depth look at the true lives of women who came to California during the Gold Rush. This is not a book filled with the fanciful notions of a romantic's point of view.... more info

7.Gold Fever!: Tales from the California Gold RushGold Fever!: Tales from the California Gold Rush
from National Geographic Children's Books
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
Gold Fever by Roz Schanzer is a terrific book, not only with the information that it covers, but with its glorious illustrations. The children I teach are totally entralled when we read this book together. Hope to see more great work from this author/illustrator in the future.

8.Hard Road West: History and Geology along the Gold Rush TrailHard Road West: History and Geology along the Gold Rush Trail
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $18.25

Customer Review:
If you like geology, you will love this. Not a quick read and all the better for it. This discussion of how the West was formed makes the travails of the travelers West in the mid-nineteenth century seem superhuman. Every other chapter enlivens the material with excerpts from emigrant diaries. These... more info

9.Days of Gold: The California Gold Rush and the American NationDays of Gold: The California Gold Rush and the American Nation
from University of California Press
Price: $24.95

Customer Review:
The California Gold Rush is often treated strictly as an economic event and recounted only from a western point of view. Rohrbough's Days of Gold weaves a refreshing and interesting tapestry of the social impacts of the gold rush using the voice of the people involved. He makes the reader feel the... more info
