And who will find their hearts' desires-or eternal riches-in the frozen land beyond the Golden Stairs? Story Behind the Book "We read books on the history of North America and found ourselves captivated with the three big gold rushes in the nineteenth century-the California Gold Rush of 1849, the Dakota Territory Black Hills Gold Rush of 1874, and the Canadian Yukon Gold Rush of 1896. Some gold seekers embraced success, delight, and happiness, but others faced failure, tragedy, and sorrow. In the Dreams of Gold series, we captivate our readers' imaginations as well as touch their hearts with both types of results in the gold seekers' experiences-good and bad. " -Al and JoAnna Lacy
