A memoir by Brian Johnson
Gold Is Where It Finds You
The Only Survivor of a Gold Mining Family Shares Their Awe-Inspiring Journey
The story
What counts as wealth when the work is over?
Gold Is Where It Finds You follows Brian Johnson from a northern Wisconsin logging family into the remote mining country of Alaska and the Yukon.
Across decades of work beside his brother Loren, the search for gold brings risk, financial pressure, family strain and hard-won success. But the memoir ultimately asks a larger question: what counts as wealth when the work is over?
