"""This book is more than just a guide to the museum exhibit, since it can stand alone, and claim a rightful spot in any collection of works on the gold rush period. By taking a new approach, rather than retelling the old, familiar stories, it will encourage a fresh look at our past, and will have an impact on the way the history of the gold rush is considered in the future. It really doesoffer new perspectives."" Dave Obee, Times Colonist"""
