The California Gold Rush
It's 1849. Gold has been discovered in California and the promise of fortune has led many people to venture there from all over the world. You dream of a better life, which you think you can get quickly if you find gold. In just 7 years, California's population rose from 800 to 55,000 people, all because of the GOLD RUSH. Only 1 in every thousand prospectors actually became rich during the California gold rush -- will you be one of the few?
