Book Description: In studying the American exodus from California once gold had been discovered in Australia, the authors look at the reaction to the news of the Australian discoveries, trying to ascertain how many and who came, and with what objectives. Were they Americans, Yankees, or Californians; advocates of self-government? How were they received? What was their wider impact? Did Australia suit them? How many stayed?
