Synopsis

CALIFORNIA!Gold fever. It swept the country from coast to coast, luring more than a hundred thousand seekers to the untamed territory of California. For them, the Gold Rush of 1848 represented the American Dream come true. But for the settlers who lived there, it was an all-out assault on the homes they’d struggled so hard to build. Now boomtowns arise overnight, teeming with outlaws, killers, and desperate men. In Sacramento Valley, former Texas Ranger Rick Miller struggles to keep the peace with nothing more than a six shooter and guts. Melissa Austen, who survived the Oregon Trail, is forced into a life of prostitution. And wagon master Whip Holt must battle the odds to save her — and stem the tide of bloodshed and greed.

California! was the most exciting books in the series so far. I found it less enjoyable than the first book though, as a large chunk of the book revolves around basically tormenting a few of the woman characters. Seriously, if you're reading these books for well developed women characters or a story......more

This is the sixth book in the Wagons West series published in 1981. It provides a vivid description of the violence that took place during the California gold rush.
