Subtitle: Twenty-Niners, Cherokees, and Gold Fever. A nice small book about a confusing topic. There are so many conflicting claims about the discovery of gold in Georgia that it is nice to see a book that actually goes back to primary sources to try to sort out the truth.
Not that it really matters where gold was first discovered. I am more interested in the accounts of the interactions between Cherokee and prospectors, and this book covers much in that area.
