About this ebook
The Gold Rush was one of the largest mass migration events in US history. After gold was discovered in California, people from all over the world rushed there in search of fortune. But not everyone benefited from the Gold Rush, and the full story of the event has at times been left out of history. Learn about the discrimination and unfair tax laws surrounding the Gold Rush and the many people who participated in the event.
Have you ever considered what's missing from history books? In Left Out of History, explore the misunderstood and underexamined past in this engaging series. Compelling photographs and primary sources help bring previously buried history to light.
Read Woke™ Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
