California Gold Rush By Manuel S

California is a place where Disneyland and other magnificent items are but there is something even more magnificent happened.Long time ago In the year 1848 and 1855 there were james Marshall and John of the Marshall witch is some kind of work company.They were walking along the side of the the river but then there was a beautiful rock or stone that was very rare.

They both bent down and picked up the rock from the cold water. It was yellow and sparkly so they saw a little closer and it was the most rarest thing in the world. GOLD!!!

They were holding gold, actual gold in their hands, they were surprised and decided to keep it a secret but they could not hold it any more as they ran back to the city and they did said it loud and clear that there was gold in the river. Everyone from the world came to there feet grabbed there splice and ran down to the river even from China they would make ten times in a day would be better than a normal job.

Some minders would bring food and other living sulpice such as coffee,bacon, sugar, beans, lanterns, and sleeping bags. People would arrived and start to look for Gold but some others were going to the mountains and smash!!

They would mind to see if there was Gold. But most people were at the river because that is were the gold was usually there. People were looking hard but some did not even find a piece of gold but some people found tons of gold.This was horrible because know there is going to properly fight about it and create violence over it.When that was over then people then went back to there villages but some people decided to to stay in california and that was a lot. So now California was named as a state of the united states.

Conclusion As you can see, people had a hard time during the gold rush. Some were during the Gold Rush. Some were successful and some were not. I Love the Gold Rush era and learning about it.If you loved it as much as me,you should check out World Book or Ducksters.
