DESCRIPTION
From National Book Award-winning historian Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea and Mayflower, comes The Rush, a sweeping account of the California Gold Rush and its profound impact on American history. When gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in 1848, hundreds of thousands of fortune seekers headed west, transforming California into a bustling center of wealth, ambition, and conflict.
Through vivid storytelling and extensive historical research, Philbrick explores how the Gold Rush reshaped American society, intensified political divisions over slavery, and helped set the stage for the Civil War. From lawless mining camps to the halls of Washington, The Rush reveals the remarkable individuals and turbulent events that helped forge the modern United States. A compelling read for fans of American history and narrative nonfiction.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
