SUMMARY
"The phrase 'seeing the elephant' symbolized for '49 gold rushers the exotic, the mythical, the once-in-a-lifetime adventure, unequaled anywhere else but in the journey to the promised land of fortune: California. Most western myths . . . generally depict an exclusively male gold rush. Levy's book debunks that myth. Here a variety of women travel, work, and write their way across the pages of western migrant history." -Choice "One of the best and most comprehensive accounts of gold rush life to date" -San Francisco ChronicleLevy, JoAnn is the author of 'They Saw the Elephant Women in the California Gold Rush' with ISBN 9780806124735 and ISBN 0806124733.
