- catalog abstract ""Forty-Niners 'round the Horn recounts the maritime adventure of fortune hunters who sailed from the east coast around Cape Horn to California during the gold rush of 1849. In the first book devoted to the onboard life of thousands of gold seekers, Charles R. Schultz paints a picture of the eighteen-thousand-mile odyssey through several climatic zones and around the vicissitudes of Cape Horn.
