Personal response: This collection narrates the experience of the California Gold Rush which is very important for children to understand the impact of the Gold Rush had in the history and the development of California. I really like this book because the bright illustrations are very appealing to children.

This book gave numerous accounts of the california gold rush of 1869. It told about the people that were coming across land, over the ocean by boat and what they went through. This book was more quotes than enjoyable text. I wouldn't recomend reading this book for a fun, easy read. It should be used to help on a research paper possibly instead of a read aloud becuase of how the book is laid out.
