THE CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH
7)On January 24, 1848, James Marshall spotted glittering flakes of gold in the American River. At the time he was working on helping to build a saw mill for John Sutter. He quickly took the gold to show Mr. Sutter and to get it tested. Sutter asked Marshall to keep the discovery of gold a secret until the construction of his mill was completed. However, that was one secret that was impossible to keep because 1)Then on December 5, 1848, President Polk announced that gold was discovered. This announcement caused one of the largest migrations to the west coast. Over 100,000 people made their way to California. These gold seekers were known as the "forty-niners."
2)Today it might be hard to understand why men left their homes and loved ones and traveled thousands of miles to look for gold. But in 1849, a prosperous farmer might make about two or three hundred dollars a year. A factory worker made about a dollar for working a twelve hour day. A skilled craftsmen made a dollar and a half a day.
3)Eventually, much of the gold that could be mined by hand had been found. Heavy machinery was needed to dig out the rest. Many miners went home penniless--or nearly so. John Sutter left California in 1851, heavily in debt. Miners had invaded his house and trampled his fields.. James W. Marshall, the man who first found the gold, had little success as a miner.
4)Still, many miners stayed. They started businesses in cities and towns or became farmers.. By 1856, San Francisco had more than 50,000 citizens and was the largest and most important city in the West. On its streets walked people from every corner of the world.
5)THE CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH
6)On May 12, 1848, when word of the discovery reached San Francisco, the town's male population was about 600. On May 15, only about 200 men remained.
gold is a valuable metal.
8)By June 1, San Francisco was a ghost town--stores closed, ships abandoned, and houses deserted. Most of the men had run off to the gold fields. The town's newspapers even shut down. No one was left to write or read them.
