Part of the The Lamar Series in Western History series

Description
By 1860, twelve years after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, more than five thousand American blacks had made the difficult trek to California in search of quick wealth.
The part that they played in this epic adventure has been too long ignored.
Here for the first time Rudolph Lapp pieces together in a coherent and fascinating narrative this missing chapter of American history.
