California (Wagons West, 6)

Rating:
Summary: Gold Rush visited
Review: A wondeful read if one likes the California Gold Rush as a time period. Like the other WW books, its an engaging read. My quabbles with the book is its time frame; how much time passes in this book is beyond me. A few months? 4 years? I also do not like how Elisabeta had such an ignoble end. Still, this is the novel to read for inspiration on the Gold Rush.

Summary: The gold rush has hit California...
Review: Another winner in the Wagon's West Series.

California is attracting people from all walks of life due to the gold fever. These are people who have nothing left to loose. This makes it hard for those who are trying to stay alive and keep order.

Sheriff Rick Miller and his wife are now landowners in the Sacramento Valley and he is trying to keep up with all the crime. Her murder sets off a chain reaction that sets this story in motion.

You will learn about gold fever, lawlessness, how restricted the society was in those days as well as how people existed on almost nothing. Another winner in the WW series.
