Prof Kathy Burke: Republic of Rough and Ready

We mine the brain of historical big hitter Professor Kathy Burke about the California Gold Rush and the Republic of Rough and Ready. Find out what it took to be a genuine 49er and why you probably wouldn't want to try it yourself. Check out the CTDEA WEBSITE for articles, episode transcripts and news. You'll also be able to get in touch with questions and comments which we'll address in our next episode. Follow us @CTDEApod on Twitter for fun facts, news and poorly-informed shouting.
