Tells the tale of the California gold rush which began in 1848 and ended in 1854. It brought people from all over the world to find gold, though only a few hundred ever became wealthy. This is the story of their lives, their hopes, their successes and their failures, the effects it had on the Native Americans and how the state of California was changed forever.
