Six Months in the Gold Mines

 

by E. Gould Buffum

 

"A classic of Gold Rush literature."

 

Cowan, noted authority on Gold Rush literature, years ago wrote, Six Months in the Gold Mines is "...one of the chiefest sources of authority for the history of that period."  Gould wrote with a journalist's eye to educating Easterners of that period about how, when and where to mine in California.  He was a great storyteller. 

 

"Buffum's occupation as a soldier, miner and journalist in California from March of 1847 through 1851 put him in a position to record California's most important historic events.  His intelligence, sensitivity and insight make it a first-class record."  John Hutchinson, Coloma, CA
