From the California gold rush through the mid-20th century, a special breed of women played an integral and heretofore unrecognised part in some of the most stirring adventures of the pioneer experience: the saintly Nellie Cashman; the copper queen Ferminia Sarras, known for her grand sprees; the former rodeo champion turned prospector; the ex-actress who snowshoed her way to Nome; and many more. This text tells the definitive story of America’s women prospectors.
