A riveting portrait of the Gold Rush, by the award-winning author of Down the Great Unknown and The Forger's Spell.

In the spring of 1848, rumors began to spread that gold had been discovered in a remote spot in the Sacramento Valley. A year later, newspaper headlines declared "Gold Fever!" as hundreds of thousands of men and women borrowed money, quit their jobs, and allowed themselves - for the first time ever - to imagine a future of ease and splendor. In The Rush, Edward Dolnick brilliantly recounts their treacherous westward journeys by wagon and on foot, and takes us to the frenzied gold fields and the rowdy cities that sprang from nothing to jam-packed chaos. With an enthralling cast of characters and scenes of unimaginable wealth and desperate ruin, The Rush is a fascinating - and rollicking - account of the greatest treasure hunt the world has ever seen.

What made the experience of listening to The Rush the most enjoyable?

Story snd truly magnificent narrator. The Israel Lord character was downright humorous and entertaining unto himself.

What did you like best about this story?

The personalization of the story using the 5 main characters with lots of actual diary accounts.

Have you listened to any of Bernard Setaro Clark’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. But although it would seem odd to choose a book by the narrator I just might try it this time. Hmmmm.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Let those who have water in their basement move HERE.

While I don't remember being giddy in the reading of this book, I will admit that I found myself looking for additional chores to do... thus giving me more listening time!
Mr. Bernard Setaro Clark was easy to listen to and clear when changing characters.

Thank you Mr. Dolnick! I look forward to other writings from you!

"The Rush" was certainly close to it!

The narrator does a great job. The storyline mostly moves along at an entertaining pace. The story follows historical accounts, along with peoples' diaries, which colors the history with emotion, The personal accounts are a collection from distinctly different people, some of which came by sea and others by land. The book is an excellent dive into the Gold Rush and a great intro into westward expansion during the time period covered. Bottom line, buy it.

Essential for the California Gold Rush buff
