California's gold rush era took place in the second half of the nineteenth century when the full potential of America's natural resource was just beginning. Events are filled with fascinating human accounts colored with romance, adventure, and violence. How was it then? How did this great quest evolve? And what of today - does gold still lay buried in the same rivers and tributaries? In essence this is our story: the prospector and his struggle for that magical substance, gold, and what remains for the California argonauts of today.
