Gold Seeking: Victoria and California in the 1850'sComparing the 1849 gold rush in California with the 1851 gold rush in Victoria, Australia, this book shows how cultural factors gave each gold rush a distinctive shape and character, and a distinctive set of social, cultural, and ethical meanings. But it also reveals that underneath these differences lay certain historical and social commonalities.
