Have you ever imagined giving up your day job and heading for the hills in search of gold? Journalist Steve Boggan decided to do just that when the price of the precious metal scaled dizzying heights in the wake of the global financial crisis. Clueless, and with neither equipment nor experience, Boggan flew to California and followed in the footsteps of the '49ers', miners who fuelled the original Gold Rush of 1849. Along the way, terrified of bears, bubonic plague and rattlesnakes, he met a cast of colourful characters, including a former Navy Seal who risked his life every day and a man who once went on the run for five years in the mistaken belief that he was wanted by the law. In charming and witty prose, gold-fevered Boggan recaptures the excitement, the hopes and disappointments of the hunt, going beyond the story of modern prospectors to give a moving insight into the birth of modern America.

A new dynamic has been discovered concerning the relationship between God and the universe. You'll find it in the first verse essay of SOUNDINGS, beginning with a statement, followed by two questions: God, who is Ultimate Reality and Truth, would not bring into existence anything less than real or true, it would seem. With this in mind, could the newly created universe- the early space-time continuum- have been anything other than it was? Could the primordial light and elements, with their forces of electromagnetism and gravity, have been anything other than they were? Thus begins a spiritual quest, ranging from the dawn of time to the summit of contemporary civilization. Embark on a journey with Frank L. Jordan III as he unravels some of the oldest known mysteries pertaining to God and the universe-mysteries involving the problem of evil, and of God's role in connection with death, accidents, natural disasters, and disease. Equipped with a new philosophy called derivism*, Jordan methodically chips away at the barriers between us and God, while pointing to a true avenue of healing ... an exalted way. What People Are Saying About SOUNDINGS: "Frank Jordan's profound struggle to understand God and the world and the reality of evil have brought him to a path very like that of process theology. I congratulate him for finding it on his own ... What gives poignancy and power to Jordan's thinking is the way it has come out of his personal suffering and joy." Dr. John B. Cobb, Jr., process theologian and co-director of the Center for Process Studies "I read it all through in one night. What a strong and lovely and deep sharing " Dr. Pamela Anne Bro, pastor of Living Waters Sanctuary and author of SoulQuest: A Trail Guide to Life "Definitely worth reading." Lawrence William Kozoyed, USN Commander (Ret.) and founder/director of the Institute for Mentoring (+) Science * Art * Spirituality "A must read for any true spiritual seeker." Rev. Nicki Royall Peet, ecumenical minister and author of the upcoming book, The Medicine Man's Daughter "I have read SOUNDINGS and I feel Frank Jordan has been able to put into words some Universal Truths from his own experience." Dr. Eleanora Woloy, Jungian analyst and author of The Symbol of the Dog in the Human Psyche: A Study of the Human-Dog Bond *The philosophy of derivism introduced in SOUNDINGS is not the religious doctrine found at the website or in the book Derivism: A New Understanding in a New Age. Each author arrived at the term derivism independently.

"You're crazy to think you'll strike it rich. Crazy, crazy, crazy!" Aunt Rachel isn't very happy about 13-year-old Tim and his older brother, Roy, heading off to the Klondike Gold Rush. But times are tough and getting worse. The possibility of discovering riches, however slim, is hard to resist. The trip from Seattle to the Yukon is torturous and filled with dangers. Blinding snowstorms, a hazardous mountain range and raging rapids stand between the prospectors and their chance to hit "paydirt." And of the 30 000 who do make it all the way to Dawson, only a small percentage will ever strike gold. Even so, Roy is determined to come back a rich man. And Tim, a budding writer, is looking to find the story of a lifetime. Their year in the gold fields is filled with exhausting travel, backbreaking work and bitter feuding. As the two brothers face increasing tensions and hardships, even all the gold in the world may not be enough to save their family. Book jacket.

Shining Black Lights The Way To A Place Where Your Dark Savior Lay... Tasked with gathering precious metals to save their struggling settlement, the miners of Faiwell aim to enter Mt. Couture for the first time in over 100 years. Joel knows the treacherous secret of the mountain and why they should avoid it at all costs. He tries to warn the others, but his muted pleas fall on deaf ears, and they enter the mines in search of treasure and glory. Within the shadows, Joel and the others are plagued by mischievous creatures, cave-ins, and treachery at the hands of their own allies. To make matters worse, they are hunted by an otherworldly terror with an appetite for human flesh. Sword and pickaxe alike shatter against its impenetrable hide, and every encounter with the beast ends in bloody disaster. Yet, even in the face of such horrors, the miners are too enamored with their treasures to escape. For the tunnel collapses and monsters of Mt. Couture are not what worry Joel. It is the enigmatic voice in their dreams telling them they must have more: the one who would call himself Dark Savior. Can Joel lead the miners away from their madness and back to safety? Or will their newfound desires see Mt. Couture swallowing them up like so many before?

The definitive story of Georgia's role in the first U.S. gold rush In the 1820s a series of gold strikes from Virginia to Alabama caused such excitement that thousands of miners poured into the region. This southern gold rush, the first in U.S. history, reached Georgia with the discovery of the Dahlonega Gold Belt in 1829. The Georgia gold fields, however, lay in and around Cherokee territory. In 1830 the State of Georgia extended its authority over the area, and two years later the land was raffled off in a lottery. Although they resisted this land grab through the courts, the Cherokees were eventually driven west along the Trail of Tears into what is today northeastern Oklahoma. The gold rush era survived the Cherokees in Georgia by only a few years. The early 1840s saw a dramatic decline in the fortunes of the southern gold region. When word of a new gold strike in California reached the miners, they wasted no time in following the banished Indians westward. In fact, many Georgia twenty-niners became some of the first California forty-niners. Georgia's gold rush is now almost two centuries past, but the gold fever continues. Many residents still pan for gold, and every October during Gold Rush Days hundreds of latter-day prospectors relive the excitement of Georgia's great antebellum gold rush as they throng to the small mountain town of Dahlonega.
