This very good chronicle—the moment installment of Will Bagley’s sweeping Overland West series—captures the chance, pleasure, and heartbreak of America’s first nice rush for riches and its enduring outcomes. With narrative scope and aspect unequalled through previous histories, With Golden Visions vivid sooner than Them retells this vintage American saga throughout the voices of the folk whose eyewitness stories vividly evoke the main dramatic period of westward migration.
