The California Gold Rush inspired a new American dream--the "dream of instant wealth, won by audacity and good luck." The discovery of gold on the American River in 1848 triggered the most astonishing mass movement of peoples since the Crusades. It drew fortune-seekers from the ends of the earth, accelerated America's imperial expansion, and exacerbated the tensions that exploded in the Civil War.

H.W. Brands tells his epic story from multiple perspectives: of adventurers John and Jessie Fremont, entrepreneur Leland Stanford, and the wry observer Samuel Clemens--side by side with prospectors, soldiers, and scoundrels. He imparts a visceral sense of the distances they traveled, the suffering they endured, and the fortunes they made and lost. Impressive in its scholarship and overflowing with life, The Age of Gold is history in the grand traditions of Stephen Ambrose and David McCullough.

Great for Sensitive Skin… But Your Wallet Might Feel It
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 12)
These wipes are one of those “you see the difference immediately” kind of products. They’re super gentle, no strong smell, and they feel clean; like actually clean, not coated in random stuff. I’ve used them on sensitive skin and had zero issues, which already puts them ahead of a lot of other wipes. The only thing...maybe two…are... they’re not cheap. So every time I grab one, there’s a tiny voice in my head like “was that wipe necessary?”. Secondly they are not very easy to pull out of the pack, so you end up pulling out more than you need. But honestly, for how gentle and effective they are, I get why people swear by them. If sensitive skin is a concern, these are definitely worth it.

The Best Baby Wipes – Gentle and Effective
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 12)
I am in love with these wipes! I have been buying them for my daughters for years, even before the packaging changed. They truly deliver what they promise: 99% water and no fragrance, which is exactly what you want for a newborn. My baby has never had any irritation, and the wipes are very moist, so you don’t need many to clean your baby effectively. They are completely worth the cost, and I will continue purchasing them.
