"Rudy's most celebrated effort has been Blacks in Gold Rush California, published by Yale University Press in 1977, and it was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in history for 1977 (the prize instead went to Stanford's David Potter). It also received the California Historical Society's Award of Merit for 1979. Rudy's book did not just focus on blacks in the gold fields of the Sierras, but also on the social hardships they encountered in a "Free State" and the legal, educational and political obstacles they faced. Lapp's achievement, simply put, was to take a human story black migration to California at that time and give it a full, in-depth scholarly treatment, something not previously done. Rudy's book was a pioneer work of synthesis and much original research. Prior to Blacks in Gold Rush California, Lapp had written for a fine-printing book club an account of the most celebrated and notorious fugitive slave episode in California, the case of Archie Lee. Rudy's colleagues told him that the Archie Lee story should "go prime time": it had a sympathetic hero, drama, interesting characters, an escape, plot twists, and a last-minute rescue the stuff that the entertainment industry thrives on. Lapp had no large thesis in this 67-page book; it was just a good story well told that he lets the reader draw conclusions from. Rudy also contributed Afro-Americans in California to a multi-title California history series, taking the story of the California black experience to a longer time line. Even before these books emerged, Rudy had already established his creds in academia with his articles in the Journal of Negro History and the California Historical Quarterly. He would also have book reviews, and contributions to the Dictionary of Negro Biography, the Reader's Encyclopedia to the American West, and American National Biography."
