NY: W. W. Norton, 2000. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 464 pages, b&w illustrations. Johnson's exquisitely researched and beautifully written book starts with the premise that the Southern mines during the early years of the California Gold Rush (1948-1852) were "a grand field for human interaction and connectedness." They were a kind of experiment in human relations, and Johnson points the spot light on the dynamic and flexible quality of race, gender, and sexuality.

Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A: W W Norton & Co Inc, 2001. 1st Trade Paperback Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Type: Book 2001/1st Trade Paperback Edition/1st Printing/B & W Illustrations/464 Pages. Our collective memory "knows" about the Gold Rush: the mid-19th century Wild West where unshaven men named Stumpy and Kentuck raised hell and panned for gold. But this is not the whole story; which tells of a social vortex - multiracial, multiethnic, often homosocial - in which Frenchmen live alongside Anglos and Cherokee women. "Roaring Camp" explores the dynamic social world created by the Gold Rush in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The lower front cover & the first several pages & a few in the later notes have bent corners.
