The Romantic World of Gold

THE ROMANTIC WORLD OF GOLD describes in vivid detail how the world's major goldfields were discovered and what life was like for the men (and, sometimes, women) who toiled there. It tells of fortunes won and lost, of crimes and criminals, of heroism and trickery.

The book makes compulsive reading for young and old alike - indeed for anyone who has ever dreamed of finding that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
