Being a former student of Dr. Brian Roberts was a delight. He not only is hilarious in class but his book is quite comical. He uses primary sources that really tell the story in detail. Many Americans still to this day want to believe in the "self-made man"...don't be fooled....men retreat home to their wives. Professor Roberts understands that the "Gold Rush" needs to be placed into the context of the "Market Revolution". And it is in this context that we can see that women were not just apart of the "cult of domesticity" but were active participants in the Gold Rush...from the eastern point of view. It was the women who ran the businesess at home while these middle class men ventured off to the "wild west" to seek the utopian dream of the market place.....gold- which, at this time was a vice from the devil himself. In the larger picture of the middle-class- it remains classless due to the fact that no one operates this class. The middle-class in America according to Brian Roberts, has the power to rebel against itself on a regular basis....the lawyer who rides a Harley is a perfect example that Professor Roberts uses to show that you can play both roles in America...a great read for those who are interested in the making of the middle class.
