A beautifully produced 1982 Classics of the Old West edition of Frank Marryat’s Mountains and Molehills, or Recollections of a Burnt Journal. Originally published in 1855, this work is one of the earliest and most vivid first-hand accounts of life in California during the Gold Rush era.
Marryat, an English traveler and artist, documents his adventures across the Sierra Nevada and the mining camps with humor, insight, and detailed illustrations. His narrative captures the rough-and-tumble spirit of the frontier, the challenges of gold seekers, and the natural beauty of the American West.
