The Golden Dream

by Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825-1894)

A thoroughly engaging, at times even harrowing, adventure tale set in the San Francisco gold rush. Detailed depiction of its time and place, complete with everything from mining techniques to societal attitudes. You’ll feel like you’re in the diggings. (Summary by Lee Elliott)
