The California gold rush was a big thing in 1848 at sutter's mill. California was the 31st state at the time of the gold rush.
In 1848 the gold rush was happening and these people went to get the gold in California.
100,000 people lived in California at the time. John Sutter and marshall were the owners of sutter’s mill. Marshall found the gold and than the secret got out and a lot of people came. People went on ships and wagons. Miners used pics, bucket, wheelbarrow, and pans to get the gold.
These are tools that the miners usd in the gold rush in 1848 to 1855. These are pike,shovels,and pans.
Some of the Oregon trail people came to the gold rush and gold rush people went to the Oregon trail.
After the news got out over 380,000 people to get gold. Some got hundreds even got thousands dollars of gold. And some didn’t get an gold. The machines that get the gold destroyed land. After a hard day the miners needed to eat but some miners did not know how to cook so that eat bacon, coffee, and bens. There are boomtowns and ghost towns. Boomtowns are a town that is close to a gold mill. Ghost towns are abandoned towns that is not a place near to a gold mill.
By 1850 the gold want done and hard to find at the end of gold rush. About 45 million dollars was found at the end of the gold rush. Over 380,000 people lived in California in the end of the gold rush. Some people went home happy and some didn’t.
All in all the gold rush was a cool thing to learn about.
