As people rushing in the Mid 1800s boats carriages and wagons came to the new land. Were many fourtens came true and dreams were crushed some people crushed in failure, People struck it rich, and difficulties. THIS WAS THE GOLD RUSH.
As many people came to California there was a person called Sam Branna that got some peoples hopes up as the man who gave up his old life he was panning for Gold. Panning is how people found gold he found a item of yellow very similar to metal people found out it was Gold he was officially the first Millionaire in California some people think that Gold will be easy to find that's not true something amazing that nobody would think that the people that sold tools would get money but they had more than the richest people. This affected the Sierra mountains that were loaded with sellers.
In the time between the years 1848-1855 over 300,000 people came to the new land this sadly meant more people came home with no money. More than half of these people failed and came home in despair need. People came from Mexico,Peru, Chile, Europe, Latin America, and China. San Francisco rapidly kept on growing rapidly in fact people from the Goldrush originally were from the oregon trail group. A verus came and killed people in the desserts in NV and animals.
Some people think a lot of people came home with a lot of money and a success but is it incredible that more than 70 percent come home empty handed in desperate need to go home. People like John Sutter and James Marshall had no chance so whatever. They got half of there stuff lost and even stolen including horses. This meant more people than them got a hard time and the California Gold Rush. The Gold Rush ended in 1860 this was a land of fortens and difficulties.
People in the Gold Rush had tough times and times to take breaks they had luck once in a while. From my book I hope people realize people in those days have much more work and tough time and this was the Gold Rush.
