Book Overview
Drawing upon newspaper accounts, journals, and letters, the author captures the Forty-niners as they really were, while revealing the courage, greed, and patriotism that gave birth to the State of California. From the first glint of gold at the bottom of Sutter's ditch to the joyful entry of the ship Oregon into San Francisco Bay unfurling the banner CALIFORNIA ADMITTED, Golden Dreams is an exuberant American saga that rivals any fiction.

Historically accurate and easy to read
It was fun reading that book, it took me only 3 days! Gwen Bristow uses her writing skills to bring historic events to life. From the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill to California's admission as the 31st state of the Union - an interesting description of California history. Including a portrayal of the first woman (and baby daughter) to travel to California across the country in 1841.
