In The Rush, Pulitzer Prize finalist Nathaniel Philbrick explores the transformative impact of California's Gold Rush on the modern United States and its trajectory toward civil war. Triggered by the discovery of gold in 1848 at Sutter’s Mill, this mass migration ignited a tumultuous, diverse society, featuring characters navigating wealth, prejudice, and political power struggles in burgeoning communities. Philbrick delves into the complexities of this era, revealing how the quest for fortune reshaped concepts of freedom and belonging, while setting the stage for a nation grappling with its ideals and divisions.
