Consuming identities : visual culture in nineteenth-century San Francisco / Amy K. DeFalco Lippert.

• These lofty aspirants of fame : the making of the gold rush legend -- Ten times better than a letter : gold rush photography -- Base falsehoods and the genuine article : the visual economy of San Francisco -- From the cradle to the grave : visualizing the life cycle -- Visual desire : love, lust, and virtual reality -- Awful magnificence : Infamy, mortality, and armchair spectacles -- Celebrity culture and the gold rush metropolis.

• "Consuming Identities restores the California gold rush to its rightful place as the first pivotal chapter in the American history of photography, and uncovers nineteenth-century San Francisco's position in the vanguard of modern visual culture"--
