New book, 547 pages. The discovery of Gold in California in 1848 sparked a frenzy that shook the world. People swarmed to the gold fields from as far as China and Australia.

At the heart of this book is the story of Captain John Fremont, who 'liberated' California from Mexico only to find himself accused of mutiny.
