The Gold Rush lured the venturesome and excited the spirited, compelling them to explore the unfamiliar and unpredictable environment physically, intellectually and aesthetically. In this book, the author interweaves the characters of the artists with the events of the time, achieving a composite tapestry of this dynamic period, significant to both those interested in art and in history.'
