The Golden Nugget: Book 4

By N.K. Beckley

The Golden Nugget is the fourth book that Mrs. Beckley has written. It is an interactive book and introduces the reader to the history of the Reed Gold Mine in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1799. It was the first goldmine in the United States of America.

I hope that this part of history sparks a discussion both in your classrooms and in your families, maybe at the dinner table.

The names of the people are fictional, but the information about the Reed Gold Mine, Italy, and South Korea are correct.

Look for the last book in the series called Emily to be out sometime soon. The rest of the books should be out soon.

I hope you have enjoyed the books as much as I have writing and researching them.

N.K. Beckley

Mrs. Beckley grew up in suburban Philadelphia in the small borough of Rose Valley—until she and her family were transferred to Detroit in 1976. She is the mother of two grown daughters and the grandmother of five grandchildren. In her spare time, she likes to read, write, cook, bake, teach American Sign Language for the Deaf and music, after school. She also enjoys dance and American Musical Theater. Mrs. Beckley has taught music and elementary school in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia for over thirty years. All of her students learned to Sign for the Deaf whether it was in her classroom or in her music classes.
