Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

Autorenporträt
Daniel B. Woods was born in 1809 and lived until 1892, passing away at the age of 83. He is best known for his detailed personal narrative Sixteen Months at the Gold Diggings, which documents his firsthand experiences during the California Gold Rush. His writing offers valuable insight into a transformative period in American history, capturing both the enthusiasm and the disillusionment that accompanied the search for fortune. Woods traveled west to participate in gold mining and used his observations to produce a vivid and realistic portrayal of life in the goldfields. The book explores the physical and emotional demands of mining, the unpredictable nature of the landscape, and the mix of hope, hardship, and moral reflection that defined the experience. He combined factual reporting with personal anecdote, contributing to the broader literary and historical understanding of frontier life. Though not widely known for other works, Woods s contribution remains a significant primary source for historians and readers interested in 19th-century American expansion and the human dimensions of economic migration. His legacy endures through this single but rich work. His parents' names are not widely documented in surviving records.
