Here is the story of young Jeremiah Goldberg, a 10-year-old in the burg of Stillwater, California in 1880, a boomtown with mystery, murder, and intrigue at its core. For Jeremiah and his trusty pals, Rachel Burgoyne and Fong Lee, there’s adventure to be mined, and Red Gold delivers the mother lode with aplomb. Like the dime novels featuring the setting-the-world-to-rights avenger McAlester, so beloved of our pint-sized hero, Red Gold tells the tale of a Jewish boy becoming a man when events threaten to turn Jeremiahs actual life into a story torn from the pages of pulp fiction.
