Gold was discovered in California ______ .
People always seem to be looking for ways to get rich quickly. So when gold was discovered in California in the mid-1800’ s, hundreds of people rushed in, hoping to get a part of the wealth. Today, gold in California continues to have as much of an appeal as it did over one hundred years ago. Modern-day prospectors in the form of mining corporations have headed back to the same area to use new techniques for locating the gold that old-time prospectors left behind. They do not have some of the problems the old-times had: anxious to seek a fast fortune. Many of those early prospectors arrived before law and order were established, and they took full advantage of this situation by cheating and robbing each other. But not everyone looking for gold in those days was greedy--some people were generous and helpful. One such person was William Waldo. He established a relief committee that collected money and supplies to help save the lives of countless people who were caught in the mountains by early snowstorms before they even reached California.
