A "riveting...sweeping epic" of one man driven by gold fever, by the number one New York Times best-selling author of North and South. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

At the height of California's Gold Rush, men left everything behind for the chance at striking it rich. Now, some 30 years after its peak, gold fever still entices adventurous Easterners like James Macklin Chance, a poor Pennsylvanian who is drawn to California by the dream of lasting wealth - a dream so powerful he'll stop at nothing to see it through.

Along the way he'll encounter grand passion, ruthless enemies, and larger-than-life titans like Leland Stanford, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Randolph Hearst, who helped shape a country's destiny.

The story, the narration, the interweaving of history - all were fantastic. I really enjoyed the depth of the story and getting to know the main characters and the others. It was like I was there in the story.

Fantastic!

Although it is long, I thoroughly enjoyed listening the fictional story of James Macklin Chase, his dreams, challenges, triumphs, and, yes, the different facets of his personality over time at the end of the 1800s-beginning of the 1900s. Because I lived in California, and later in Nevada (I still visit those areas sporadically), John Jakes’ lucid description of sights and cities fondly transported me to the places I called home for 24 years. I trust other readers will find pleasure listening to this book.

Thoroughly enjoyed

John Jakes wrote an interesting novel based on real events with a fictional lead character. I read the book about 5 years ago and when I listened to Shawn Compton's narration the characters came to life. Fantastic narration along with a well written story. If you want to learn about history this is the way to do it!

Great story of CA history.

As a Bay Area resident for most of my life, I heard so many mispronunciations of names of cities and places. It took away from the author

Good historical context

A true historical fiction, enjoyed learning so much about how San Francisco and Los Angeles came to be. Thought I was going to read one more book about the gold rush and was pleasantly surprised to find that the story actually begins after it.

Lots of history!
