New Book Tells Sacramento's Gold Rush Stories Home
True Gold
True Gold, History and Adventure in Sacramento and the Gold Country from Indians to Arnold tells the exciting story of the Sacramento Region, beginning with the volatile time of the Gold Rush.
I wanted to write and illustrate the colorful story of our region so that adults and young people will learn to know and love place they live. This is the city that brought you the Gold Rush--our story is about a great adventure in one of the world's most beautiful settings. That adventure leads to where we are today--True Gold. Greg Velm
The turn of almost every page presents another stunning color photograph or historic plate. Additionally, this 183-page book includes two oversize graphic fold-outs: Map to the Gold and Adventure Tour guide. "A masterful job from modern adventure to colorful past. Magnificient visuals and interesting tales for all ages," writes Steve Beck, History and Education, Sutter's Fort.
