Queens of the Mines features the authentic stories of gold rush women who blossomed from the camouflaged, twisted roots of California. These are true stories, with some of my own fabrication of descriptive details. It is recommended that you start this series from the first episode. In this episode of Queens of the Mines, we begin the story of The Queen of Revenge from the California Gold Mines. A brave woman, from Mexican Alta California, who’s racial status determined her fate. First, an introduction peering into the discriminations of the time. This is a true story, from America’s Largest Migration, The Gold Rush. PrefaceWorks Cited: Sarah Shank Hist 133 Project Paper Mythology of the Mother Lode 12/3/18 The Mariposa Gazette.
