摘　　要：淘金热是美国西部开发中"矿业边疆"的一大特色,而淘金人则是这一活动的主角,他们随着矿藏的发现而聚居,随着矿藏的枯竭而四散。他们的淘金生活别具特色,社区生活被深深地打上了淘金的烙印。从物质和精神文化两个层面对淘金人别样的社会生活作了梳理,并在此基础上概括和勾勒出淘金人社会生活的主要特点:淘金者的人口构成复杂;淘金者物质生活匮乏,精神生活单一;采矿地社会秩序混乱。Gold rushing is one of characteristics of the ＂ mining frontier＂ in the development of the US western regions, and the miners were the major roles in this activity.
