Listen to National Book Award winner @natphilbrick read an excerpt from his new bestselling book THE RUSH — a "compulsively readable" (@nytimes) tale about how California’s Gold Rush forged the modern United States—and lit the long fuse to civil war.
In THE RUSH, Philbrick follows the gold as it moves from riverbed to countinghouse to the halls of power, revealing how vigilantism hardened into law and how debates over slavery in the West tipped the balance in Washington. The result is a clear, human story of how a scramble for wealth reshaped ideas of freedom, labor, and belonging—and how California’s rise helped push a fractured nation toward war.
Pick up the book @WSJ called "a fascinating saga, especially in the hands of so capable a chronicler as Nathaniel Philbrick" today!

If National Book Award winner and @nytimes bestselling author @natphilbrick could talk to any of the people in THE RUSH, who would it be? Keep watching to find out!
THE RUSH is "a confounding and encouraging chronicle told from a myriad of perspectives, a bottom-up, epic tale of an inevitable rush toward profit and near-national suicide" (@kenlburns). From Chilean brothers reinventing themselves to native communities navigating dispossession and violence to the politicians vying for control of California’s future, Philbrick transforms the Gold Rush from a tale of sudden riches into a clear, human story about the origin of America’s modern contradictions.
Pick up this "illuminating and absorbing account of the California Gold Rush" (@jon.meacham) today!
