Gold Pans and Pepperbox Pistols (Annotated)

By David R. Leeper

Gold fever is a strong and universal pull and in 1849, sixteen year old David Leeper could not resist the California Gold Rush. Like more than 300,000 people like him, he was sure that El Dorado was waiting just over the next rise.What he found was more than enough adventure for a lifetime. His memoir of those raucous times as a Forty-Niner is fabulously entertaining and full of eccentric, true-life characters.After several years in California, Leeper returned to his native Indiana and spent the rest of his life in public service.
