The forty-niners
Johnstone, William W.2024
Large Print
In January of 1848, the discovery of gold in California sparked a nationwide frenzy, fuelling the dreams of Americans from coast to coast. For Cord Bennett, it was more than a dream. Forced to leave the Ozarks, he reluctantly joins his brothers on the journey west. Together, they would endure harsh weather, fierce tribal attacks and roving outlaws. But their biggest challenge comes when they reach the gold-rich canyon of Rio Oro. This makeshift town is barely more than a campsite for prospectors - but the men who control it are as ruthless as any big-city criminals. And twice as deadly.
