A Global History of Gold Rushes
Author: Benjamin Mountford
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520967585
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Nothing set the world in motion like gold. Between the discovery of California placer gold in 1848 and the rush to Alaska fifty years later, the search for the precious yellow metal accelerated worldwide circulations of people, goods, capital, and technologies. A Global History of Gold Rushes brings together historians of the United States, Africa, Australasia, and the Pacific World to tell the rich story of these nineteenth century gold rushes from a global perspective. Gold was central to the growth of capitalism: it whetted the appetites of empire builders, mobilized the integration of global markets and economies, profoundly affected the environment, and transformed large-scale migration patterns. Together these essays tell the story of fifty years that changed the world.

ISBN: 9781511422864
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining publication on the gold mining history of Australia. First published in 1852, it has been unavailable since those days and sheds important light on Australia's gold mining history. Included are rare communications between British agents and the British Crown when gold was first discovered in Australia in 1851. This rare text contains hard to find details on Australia's first mining camps and Britain's early attempts to provide for the orderly regulation of gold mines in that part of the world. Also of interest are hard to find extracts of articles that appeared in the early colonial newspapers that did their best to report on Australia's gold rush as it took place. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As such, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
