The Gold Crusades by Douglas Fetherling
Fetherling argues that the gold rushes in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa shared the same causes and results, the same characters and characteristics.'The gold rushes were among the most dynamic episodes in modern history, when people from many nations and every level of society converged, turning wilderness into colonies, crossroads into boom towns and boom towns into citiesThe Gold Crusades conveys that excitement, while offering a broader perspective. Readers will find it meticulously researched, with a helpful and entertaining essays on sources appended for further reading. Anyone prospecting for a good book should find it a gem.'
