100 poems about the gold rush, the drive, the experience and the aftermath. The Rush is divided into five parts: The Lust, The Land, The Work, The Life and The Future. Climb the mountain and experience what those early adventurers found.
“I live in a place famed for its Gold Rush history, among people who did not find gold—because those who did have moved on.

Only empty pockets
