River of Skulls - Mad Dash for Riches

May 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Emily Fairfield sails to California in 1850, expecting her lawyer-turned-gold miner husband to meet her in San Francisco. Instead, she finds herself in a lawless land dominated by gold fever. Determined to find her husband, Emily meets an old man who tells her that he was last seen at El Rio de las Calaveras, which translates to the River of Skulls.

“A wonderful story of a brave, adventurous woman, her family, and events in the period which spans 1850 to 1906. The author vividly portrays the events and gorgeous scenery of the foothills in which she lives.” – C. Leandro, family support officer, Santa Margarita, Calif.

“River of Skulls unfolds in an engrossing narrative of life in California’s Gold Rush era. Careful research on the part of the author is reflected in the story’s period setting and dialogue, fulfilling the reader's desire for authenticity. The life of a gutsy woman and her family makes this a page turner, right up to the end!” – M.J. Post, artist and textile designer, Portland, Ore.
