The California Gold Rush,[object Object]
January 24, 1848 ,[object Object],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.News of the discovery brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the united states and abroad. Of the 300,000, approximately half arrived by sea and half came overland.,[object Object]
population,[object Object],[object Object]
The population increase transformed into hundreds of boom towns in California resulting in mining camps and fly-by night homesteads,[object Object]
immigrants,[object Object],On February 2, 1848 the first ship with Chinese immigrants seeking fortune in California's gold country arrived in San Francisco.,[object Object],In the next two years, thousands upon thousands of Easterners who might never have thought about migrating to such a remote territory would pour into the region. By 1850, there were more than 100,000 immigrants.,[object Object]
The route’s,[object Object],There were two miserable choices. The sea route around the tip of South America often took more than six months. But the alternative wasn't much better--a 2,000 mile walk across the barren American outback. The sea route was favored by gold seekers from the eastern states. Seasickness was rampant; food was full of bugs, or worse-rancid. Water stored for months in a ship's hold was almost impossible to drink. And then there was the boredom--months and months at sea with nothing to do, except dream about gold. ,[object Object]
For speed, a quicker route was soon employed across Panama. It seemed like a logical shortcut. But traversing the rain forests of Central America in the 1840s was an adventure in itself. Malaria and cholera were common. Those who survived to see the Pacific faced another dilemma--they were stranded. Ships to ferry them up the coast to San Francisco were rare. And so the forty-niners waited for weeks--or months, in overcrowded, disease-infested coastal towns.,[object Object]
For Americans who lived in the central states, there was another way west--a well-worn path carved out several years earlier: the Oregon-California Trail. The overland road was much shorter than the sea route, but it wasn't faster. Most had no idea how severe the overland journey would be.,[object Object]
The Oregon trail,[object Object]
Techniques for retrieving gold ,[object Object],At first a technique called panning was used to retrieve gold from streams and riverbeds.,[object Object],Hydraulic mining was later invented in California. This technique was created for larger scale gold mining.,[object Object]
The negative effects of the gold rush,[object Object],Native Americans,[object Object],became the victims of,[object Object],disease, starvation, and,[object Object],genocidal attacks.,[object Object],[object Object]
The Native American population in 1870 was less than 30,000.Many people that ,[object Object],journeyed to California,[object Object],from around the world,[object Object],never made it.,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Other facts,[object Object],California is the 31st state admitted to the US.,[object Object],Samuel Brannan was the first millionaire because of the California gold rush.,[object Object]
Home work,[object Object],Who discovered the first gold nugget?,[object Object],Why were the gold seekers called “49ers?”	,[object Object],What were some reasons that most prospectors did not strike it rich?,[object Object],How long did the California gold rush last?,[object Object],What was the total amount in dollars found in gold after the gold rush was over?,[object Object]
bibliography,[object Object],Web sites,[object Object],http://www.isu.edu/~trinmich/journey.html,[object Object],http://www.calliope.org/gold/gold2.html,[object Object],http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Gold_Rush,[object Object],Books,[object Object],American pathways to the present  page 255 and 256,[object Object]
