Art of the Gold Rush

(Published in association with the Oakland Museum of California and the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento)

By: Janice T. Driesbach,Harvey L. Jones,Katherine Church Holland

The California Gold Rush captured the get-rich dreams of people around the world more completely than almost any event in American history. This catalog, published in celebration of the sesquicentennial of the 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, shows the vitality of the arts in the Golden State during the latter nineteenth century and documents the dramatic impact of the Gold Rush on the American imagination. Among the throngs of gold-seekers in California were artists, many self-taught, others formally trained, and their arrival produced an outpouring of artistic works that provide insights into Gold Rush events, personages, and attitudes. The best-known painting of the Gold Rush era, C.C. Nahl's Sunday Morning in the Mines (1872), was created nearly two decades after gold fever had subsided. By then the Gold Rush's mythic qualities were well established, and new allegories—particularly the American belief in the rewards of hard work and enterprise—can be seen on Nahl's canvas. Other works added to the image of California as a destination for ambitious dreamers, an image that prevails to this day. In bringing together a range of art and archival material such as artists' diaries and contemporary newspaper articles, The Art of the Gold Rush broadens our understanding of American culture during a memorable period in the nation's history.

Life's Reality

Everyday Poetry

By: Harvey C. Jones

My poetry is first and foremost about everyday life. About trying to heal each other with love and communication. When I say communication I mean saying hi to each other, looking past race, religion and how a person looks. Let us go back to the basics of life. God is very important to me in my daily life, so I pray for each and every person in the world whether they are good or bad. In parting I always say one day at a time. Enjoy my simple poems and smile.
