Sights in the Gold Region of Oregon and California Theodore Taylor Johnson

Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of "California and Oregon, or, Sights of the Gold Fields". Unavailable since 1853, this publication provides a fascinating insight into the California and Oregon Gold Rushes through the eyes of one of the men who went West and "saw the elephant" to take part in it. Theodore Taylor Johnson's memoir of his journey to the gold fields of California and Oregon offers a unique look into this important time during the settling of the Far West.
