Famed humorist and storyteller Mark Twain penned vivid tales during California s Gold Rush era, including one of his most popular works, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (an annual Gold Country competition that still has legs). Other good gold-rush reads include Bret Harte s The Luck of Roaring Camp, a sentimental tale of hard-luck miners and their false toughness, and J. S. Holliday s The World Rushed In, one of the finest nonfiction accounts of the Gold Rush still in print.

Go for an exhilarating experience.
