California Gold Rush history comes to life! Buried in the archives until 2021 and never published, this amazing collection of Gold Rush journals chronicle America’s Gold Rush era in astonishing detail. Between 1849-1865, Argonaut Daniel Jenks documented his (mis)adventures all across the American West in his journals. Writing to an imaginary confidant, Jenks shared his inner-most thoughts with the reader - the dreams and fears that drove him. Ride along with Daniel as he uncovers the mysteries of the Wild West, learns how to prospect for gold, and comes dangerously close to losing his scalp during the Northern California and Southern Oregon Indian Wars!  From Native Americans, to Chinese Gold Rush miners and Vigilance Committees, Jenks wrote of that extraordinary chapter in American history like few others have. During his cross country Gold Rush odyssey, Daniel prospected for gold at historic gold mining camps and boomtowns, places like; Big Oak Flat, Chinese Camp, Garrote, Savage’s Camp, Jacksonville, Marysville, Chilean Camp, Wood’s Camp, Yreka’s Long Gulch, Humbug Creek, Dry Diggings and Pioneer City (aka Hog ’em). And he also traveled along some of America’s most famous emigrant trails; The Santa Fe Trail, The Cherokee Trail, Applegate Trail, Hastings Cutoff, Lassen Trail, Nobles Trail, Salt Lake Cutoff, The California Trail, The Oregon Trail and The Yreka Trail. Now, for the first time ever, you can finally read Daniel’s long-lost collection of Gold Rush journals for yourself. It’s a must-read for all History Buffs! Historic 5-volume collection of Gold Rush journals. Original journals were sold by Christie’s Auction House in 2012 for $185,000. Includes both California and Colorado Gold Rushes. Journal entries span from 1849-1865. Never before published. Easy reading format. Go West! With Daniel Jenks. 'One of the most vivid and best written gold rush journals we have ever handled' - Christie’s Auction House
