A âriveting . . . sweeping epicâ of one man driven by gold fever, by the #1 New York Timesâbestselling author of North and South (Richmond Times-Dispatch).  At the height of Californiaâs Gold Rush, men left everything behind for the chance at striking it rich. Now, some thirty 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 wealthâa dream so powerful heâll stop at nothing to see it through. Along the way heâll encounter grand passion, ruthless enemies, and larger-than-life titans like Leland Stanford, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Randolph Hearst, who helped shape a countryâs destiny.  âThe best historical novelist of our timeâ (Patricia Cornwell) once again spins a sweeping tale of power and passion, as he did so masterfully in the Crown Family Saga, the Kent Family Chronicles, and the North and South trilogy. This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Jakes including rare images from the authorâs personal collection. |
