In 2013, Jack Dublin and family traveled to the Grand Canyon for a week of whitewater rafting. When a monsoon rolled in, forcing them to higher ground, they sheltered in a cave unseen for nearly 150 years. Inside they found several journals from the time of the Gold Rush that revealed scattered treasures of the ages from sea to shining sea (and deep beneath them as well). The legends told of explorers who harnessed ship and beast and rail to lay hold their dreams on a merciless frontier; exploits that elevated ordinary men into heroes, and the undoings that destroyed the rest. One man lived long enough to record the greatest history never told... until now.

In The Lost and Found Journal of a Miner 49er, Vol. 1, Jack Dublin charms us into a world of Christian-themed folk lore stretching from the outback of Australia to the Island of California. Along the way, we encounter mythical creatures, from wish-granting mermaids and red-haired giants, to talking coyotes and a dreadful Canyon Sphinx. We relive exploits of powerful rulers and infamous outlaws who (though their names be lost to history) entangle themselves in our memories with the likes of Abe Lincoln and Billy the Kid. Join the rush!

Jack Dublin is the author of The Lost and Found Journal series, a collection of Christian-themed stories for middle-grade readers. Growing up, he had little interest in history―much less the 49er Gold Rush―until his love of travel and exploration intersected a contentious debate on the lost history of mankind. Mr. Dublin lives in the Pacific Northwest with his beloved bride, their four darling children, and a fancy bearded dragon.
