Gold Rush Bookstore
Greetings, salutations, and welcome to Malakoff’ & Co.’s Gold Rush Bookstore.
Here you will find books relating to the California Gold Rush and all that implies; books describing the various routes to
California, what the argonauts found when they arrived and what happened to them while they were “in the
mines.” In addition to these historical works, Gold Country travel guides and fictional pieces are also offered
about these pages.
We’ve sorted our books into several different categories in an effort to be somewhat organized. If you see this flashing spot
