In 1848 a settler in remote, undeveloped California discovered gold near Sacramento. As the news spread, a great tide of gold - hungry men flowed into California. These " Forty - niners"(migrants of 1849)came from Europe. Some of the people moved across the country by wagon, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and danger. Others sailed all the way around South America, finally reaching the California shore. Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of the prospectors used pans and sieves, searching the waters of brooks and rivers for the precious specks of yellow metal. Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for specks of gold. They worked with almost insane determination and fierce competition.
Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having uprooted themselves from home and from livelihood and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they had found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary cozens without the riches they had dreamed of.
It was this great influx of population that built up California very fast and led to its becoming a state of the United States in 1850.
Many people rushed to California because______.
