The book
takes one on the journey of a lifetime through the wild west
to a miner's dream. It recounts the stories of individuals
who left everything and set out against all odds to find their
fortune based on rumors of wealth. And there were some.
While
the audio begins to take off in an interesting direction with
the Gold Rush in 1848 with lively accounts of epic fever,
the narration tends to drone. The information is eye opening
and fresh with its folklore and intriguing adventure. I did
glean some new information from his narrative which caused
me to stop and think, but I am not sure if it was the pace
of the reader that may have offset my interest. The book may
be a better read for some as it may offer the ability to slow
down where one needs to and skip what isn't interesting. The
storyline is the nonetheless informative and fun.
