This Documentary Play or Choral Reading describes the California Gold Rush in the Voices of Women. 
People from all over the world joined the westward movement of the 1880s.  Some realized their dreams.  Others met danger, desease, or death. But the women who came west found riches more precious than gold.  They found greater fredome, new identities, and new strength.  These women truly gathered pockets of gold.  Hear them tell their own stories in their own words, stories mined from journals, letters, memoirs, and newspapers.
