Bookroo's summary

Journey back to the California Gold Rush, where a builder at Sutter's Mill, a New York '49er, and a Chilean prospector each chase dreams of fortune. As gold fever grips the land, their paths intertwine in unexpected ways. Will they find the riches they seek, or will the harsh realities of the frontier test their resolve? Step into their shoes and discover the diverse stories of ambition and survival during this pivotal moment in history.

From the publisher

The events surrounding the California Gold Rush did not look the same to everyone involved. Step back in time and into the shoes of a builder working on Sutter’s Mill when gold was discovered, a ‘49er who left New York for California, and a prospector from Chile who came by ship to California to find riches as readers act out the scenes that took place in the midst of this historic event. Written with simplified, considerate text to help struggling readers, books in this series are made to build confidence as readers engage and read aloud. This book includes a table of contents, glossary, index, author biography, sidebars, and timelines.
