New England to Gold Rush California: The Journal of Alfred and Chastina W. Rix, 1849-1854
: Lynn A. Bonfield/Alfred Rix/Chastina W. Rix
On July 29, 1849, two young schoolteachers were married in a small town in northern Vermont. Their story could easily have been lost to history, except that Alfred and Chastina Rix had the foresight to begin recording their observations in a joint journal. Their unique husband-and-wife account, which captures the turbulence of life and events during the gold rush era, is also a personal--and compelling--chronicle of a singular family's separation and reunion.
