Riches for All: The California Gold Rush and the World. Edited by Kenneth N. Owens. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2002, xii + 367 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, index. $55.00, £41.95, cloth; $27.95, £21.50, paper.)
In Riches for All, Kenneth N. Owens notes that the California gold rush was a complex and broadly influential event that can best be approached "as industrious miners approached the gold-bearing gravels they claimed, by working one bucketful, one drift, one topic at a time" (p. x) These fourteen essays suggest that the gold rush still remains a profitable field for further digging.	1
The anthology begins with Owens's solid introduction to gold rush historiography, followed by his article on the impact of the Mormons in setting up much of the early infrastructure of both the rush and northern California. Malcolm Rohrbough then describes the experiences of Mexican, Chilean, Chinese, and European adventurers in California, as well as the effects of the rush on places outside of California such as Salt Lake City and Hawai'i.	. . .
