Reader Letters:

....Very shortly into your first book I became an instant fan of you two and your writing. It looks to me like you have the perfect dream job of all of us, you get paid for doing what you love to do. I am learning something new on every page. Having grown up in California, graduated from Humboldt State in 1964 and then worked for the National Park Service all my life, your historical writings are great fun stuff to behold....I am greatly enjoying reading your books and recommending them to everyone I talk to these days.

Wiles and Brown bring together the notable, infamous and newsworthy of the California Gold Rush and the nation's Capitol prior to the dark days that were on our country's horizon. Extensive research and the rich material presented have produced a real page-turner. Their Reference Notes are quick and easy to use to view sources or read further.

Gary & Delores - Just finished the 6th of your fascinating and highly readable books you sent me. I wish to say "Thankee Kindly" -- They are certainly the most interesting reads I've seen for quite a while -- Thanks also for the historical music sheets - enjoyed them very much - it is so difficult to get.
