How to Get Rich in the California Gold Rush: An Adventurer's Guide to the Fabulous Riches Discovered in 1848 by Yours Truly, Thomas Hartley

48 pp. | National | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4263-0315-9 $16.95 | Library ISBN 978-1-4263-0316-6 $25.90
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Scott Allred. This lively, humorous "account" by a fictional New Englander of his trip to California in search of gold is chock-full of illustrations, facts, advice, and faux artifacts and letters. The text is delivered in a deadpan, period-appropriate manner. Well-designed and appealing, this is a surefire way to make history come alive for young readers. Reading list, websites. Glos.
