California Gold Rush Days…and the Mexican-American War

In February of 1848, James Dunwoody Bulloch was in California with the US Navy’s Pacific forces that were engaged in operations related to the Mexican-American War…and the California Gold Rush! The Gold Rush sent such a fever through America and the US Navy sailors off-shore, that shore-leave was restricted to keep men from “jumping ship” and having a go at gold mining….another amazing nugget in JDB’s (that’s James Dunwoody Bulloch, our ‘shorthand’, to you!) life. Stay tuned for daily info as “James D. Bulloch: Secret Agent and Mastermind of the Confederate Navy” is OUT! Get a copy at Amazon or order from you local book store!
