If you love to travel, and are an admitted bookworm and history buff like me, you pack as many books as extra pairs of socks.  These books are must haves when traveling through California’s Gold Country.   

The Age of Gold by H.W. Brands

The World Rushed In by J.S. Holliday

They Saw the Elephant by JoAnn Levy 

A Frontier Lady by Sarah Royce

The Shirley Letters by Louise Clappe

Roaring Camp by Susan Lee Johnson


In the mood for humor?  Try...

Bret Harte’s Gold Rush: Outcasts of Poker Flat

 
Looking for fantastic fiction?  Try...

Isabel Allende’s Daughter of Fortune

Karen Joy Fowler’s exquisite Sarah Canary and Sister Noon
 
And don't forget to check out my novel, Crown of Dust.

Happy travels!  If you’re lucky enough to tour historic Highway 49 between now and November you’ll enjoy fall color that would make the state of Maine blush with envy.
