It was THE pivotal event in California history, but not everything you think you know about the Gold Rush is true.
The Gold Rush brought thousands of dreamers, seekers, entrepreneurs and charlatans into California, each, it seems with a story to tell. A new non-fiction book samples dozens of these first-person accounts to create a multi-faceted portrait of a tumultuous time.
Historian Gary Noy will talk about his Gold Rush Stories book at the Sonoma Community Center, Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. You can also hear more from his on the North Bay Report webpage at KRCB dot org/news.
