520    In the two years after the discovery of gold as Sutter's 
       Mill in 1848, one hundred thousand persons made the 
       difficult trek to California in search of quick wealth. 
       One thousand of them were blacks. By 1860 there were five 
       thousand. They formed the largest voluntary migration of 
       American blacks before the Civil War. Yet few whites then 
       or now have been aware of the part that blacks played in 
       America's epic adventure. Most black Forty-niners went 
       west less to escape a hard lot than to seek their fortune.
       Some mined alone or together with whites, others formed 
       companies of their own. They included both free blacks and
       slaves. Lapp examines their life in mining communities and
       their relationships with other minorities and with whites.
       He also records for the first time in detail the history 
       of the California Colored Conventions, examining the 
       ideology and eastern origin of its leadership, its 
       problems, and the exodus of many of its members to Canada.
       Altogether, the author has pieced together a coherent and 
       fascinating narrative of this missing chapter of history.
