Résumé

In "Getting Gold: A Practical Treatise for Prospectors, Miners and Students, " J. C. F. Johnson presents a comprehensive guide that marries practical instruction with a wealth of historical context, drawing upon the rich traditions of the 19th-century gold rush. The book features a clear, didactic style, filled with diagrams, and illustrations that serve to elucidate complex concepts of gold mining and prospecting.
Johnson meticulously chronicles various extraction methods, the chemistry of gold and ores, and the geographical nuances critical for success, making it an essential resource in both academic and field settings. J. C. F. Johnson was an astute observer of the American socio-economic landscape during the gold rush era, a time marked by fervent adventurism and formidable industry. His extensive field experience as a miner and a scholar imbues his writing with authenticity and insight.
Johnson recognized that the quest for gold was not merely an endeavor for wealth but a profound journey of knowledge, exploration, and survival, influenced by both scientific inquiry and the human spirit. I highly recommend "Getting Gold" to students of geology, enthusiasts of mining history, and practitioners in the field. Johnson's work transcends the mere how-to manuals; it serves as a crucial historical document that provides a window into the practical realities and dreams of those who sought fortune in the untamed wilderness.
