But can two such unlikely greenhorns really survive a harrowing sea voyage, bandits, and crazed minersnot to mention a showdown with the dreaded Mountain Ox. It seems impossible. But in Gold Rush California, the impossible was happening every day, as this rollicking, rip-snortin' saga demonstrates in each delightful chapter.
