Description and Table of Contents

Description

When news of the madness of California's gold rush hit New York, Horace Greeley, publisher of the New York Tribune, looked about for a reporter to send. Taylor, thoughtful, and at the same time fully engaged in the madness, offered his readers detailed, finely crafted descriptions of the remarkable wealth and the harsh conditions produced by the gold rush.
