The journal follows young James Spencer, of the Sagamore Mining Company, on a spectacular journey from staid Boston, up the Sacramento River to the Mother Lode. During his search for a "lost river of gold," Spencer confronts vengeance, greed, and racism in himself and others, and builds one of California's first mercantile empires. In the present, Peter Fallon's son asks his father for help appraising the rare books in the Spencer estate and reconstructing Spencer's seven-part journal, which has been stolen from the California Historical Society. Peter and Evangeline head for modern San Francisco and quickly discover that there's something much bigger and more dangerous going on, and Peter's son is in the middle of it. Turns out, that lost river of gold may be more than a myth. Past and present intertwine as two stories of the eternal struggle for power and wealth become one. 650 0 $a Fallon, Peter (Fictitious character) 650 0 $a Antiquarian booksellers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gold mines and mining $z California $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Martin, William, $d 1950-. $t Peter Fallon ; $v 6. 941 $a 9 952 $l YFPC572 $d 20221022012453.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220614010144.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060542.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190507011059.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20181228011111.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107035301.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006120220.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20180926011125.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180704040149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5CE9D8EA7F5511E8A5BED64C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
