California Gold Rush
California Gold Rush
The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California.
All in all, the news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad.
The gold-seekers, called “forty-niners” (as a reference to 1849), often faced substantial hardships on the trip. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the Gold Rush attracted tens of thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and China. At first, the prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning.

I like reading and watching stories from those that refuse to use the word INFLATION. The fact that gold hit record highs is because of huge inflation. Some even predict Hyper inflation to come. As long as Ben and the banksters continue on this spending and printing spree there is more of that to come. Huge cost increases like the world has ever seen. Read more
