I was angry at first since most American Experience documentaries are very informative. This one fell short of my expectations as there was really nothing recent regarding the Gold Race. The producers did a trustworthy job keeping a fairly even keel historically and conjecture to a minimum. Included are many generous historians and some that are controversial at best, but they were kept within the realm of historical facts, notwithstanding several instances of improper bias which is grievous coming from those with the marquee “historian.” Few other than J. S. Holliday for example, had anything to say of a deep concept of the speed, and others were simply regurgitating what Holliday had been saying for thirty years (they must have been fans) . This documentary is best good to children, say, in the 12-16 year range. A couple of errors were made as well unless I’m erroneous. The 230 ounces of gold taken to Washington, D. C. by Lieutenant Loeser was carried in a tea caddy, not an “oyster tin” as stated. I could not salvage the “oyster tin” fact anywhere, and it is the first time I have heard it. Also, Alfred Doten never owned a store in California as promoted in the documentary; but he did “tend” a store for a Mr. Perry when he was away buying goods. I also consider they were a microscopic harsh on Doten, especially on the PBS residence in regard to their “bio” of him. His diaries were never intended to be published, and I mediate simple respect should be exercised when judging someone through 21st century eyes. He certainly liked women, and the reason he was with “women of color” is because that’s chiefly all who were there at first, but that’s never brought out in the documentary except as an innuendo to develop him seem deviant. In actuality he was no different than any other nationality that populated California regarding women; he objective wrote about his actions and is an easy target as a result. There was also a failure to mention that many Chinese were basically conscripted in California to work for higher-ranking Chinese “bosses.” Many of the Chinese were not at liberty to do as they wished-one could not produce that connection from the video. Finally, yes it may be accurate that many miners did not want to return home because of failure, or simply wanted to quit because of a more originate society, but when spring begins in California in February-when “help east” gray encompasses the sky, crusty snow is on the ground, and nothing will be green for another two months, I’d discontinue in California too!
After viewing this documentary about the west, one has to wonder: are all white americans nefarious? No! But one has to be just enough to answer the fact that prejudice toward any human being who was not white existed and flourished by the DOMINANT WHITE CLASS. This is a dim but fair statement, after buying and viewing this DVD…and… Ken Burns DVD: the West, and The Diagram West DVD by Ric Burns. All three DVDs have the accepted thread of inhumane treatment to non white people by the Anglo American. This is fact!

If you do not want to procure the truth, don’t engage it…or for that matter,any of the other DVDs I’ve mentioned. However, such facts leads us to plan ourselves to then ask what do we need to do to improve.
I highly reccommend this DVD to witness what the WEST was like living during those times for it makes us understand that life has never been easy but easier through education by being Just to belief this DVD.
