ON MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1848, at about ten o'clock in the morning, James W. Marshall, employed by the entrepreneur John Sutter to construct a sawmill on the American River, picked some flakes of mineral out of the tailrace.

From the rear cover

"With this exhaustively researched, elegantly written study, so successful as narrative and as scholarship, Malcolm J. Rohrbough joins Rodman Paul and J. S. Holliday as a master historian of this defining American epic."--Kevin Starr, author of Americans and the California Dream, 1850-1915
