Description
The discovery of gold in the Sierras triggered the greatest migration in United States history, the gold rush of 1849. In this sweeping story of the rush to California by land and by sea, four young people discover what gold fever can do to a person's beliefs and values. But in the process, they find that there is one thing more important than gold: love.
