Description:
Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2000. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x0x9. First edition. Faint edge wear. 2000 Trade Paperback. 360 pp. California during the gold rush was a place of disputed claims, shoot-outs, gambling halls, and prostitution; a place populated by that rough and rebellious figure, the forty-niner; in short, a place that seems utterly unconnected to middle-class culture. In American Alchemy, however, Brian Roberts offers a surprising challenge to this assumption.
