About this title: On January 24, 1848, James Marshall discovered a small nugget of gold in a stream near Sutter's Mill, California. Though he tried to keep it a secret, word spread through the country like wildfire. Before the year was out, the great American gold rush had begun. This true-life adventure story recreates the days when young and old went west with pick and shovel in the hope of finding riches.
