What was the gold rush about?

The gold rush began in 1848 and ended in 1855. The whole thing started with a guy named tags. He was the guy who discovered the gold in California in the first place. He was working on a wooden windmill, when he saw something shining in the flowing river. He showed his boss and they talked about the gold, and the information got leaked to other people and tags spread. The words spread fast and was always the big headline in the newspapers. About 300 000 people got drawn down to California when they heard about the news, That there was gold in America.


When people started to move into California it made so called "boom towns" a place where suddenly the population grows immediately and the economic factors raises as well. The people who immigrated to America was called 49'ers since they immigrated in 1849 when the gold rush started. After there was no more gold in the towns, they where abandoned and called "ghost towns", because they where empty and people moved to another place, where there was a higher chance to get gold.

When the Gold Rush began, the California goldfields were peculiarly lawless places. When gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill, California was still technically part of Mexico, under American military occupation as the result of the Mexican–American War. With the signing of the treaty ending the war on February 2, 1848, California became a possession of the United States, but it was not a formal "territory" and did not become a state until September 9, 1850. California existed in the unusual condition of a region under military control. 


Gold mining is about collecting the gold buried and hidden under the earths surface and process it Also called "pay dirt", to then sell it for profit. In Modern day gold mining you would have to use a lot of expensive machines to make enough profit, This was way much harder back in the 80's. The basic components to start mining back then was a pickaxe a shovel and washing pan to clean the mud to find the gold. People where poor and often didn't have good equipment. The people who sold gears and tools to these people often earned more than the actual gold miners.

Because the gold in the California gravel beds was so richly concentrated, early forty-niners were able to retrieve loose gold flakes and nuggets with their hands, or simply "pan" for gold in rivers and streams. However, panning cannot take place on a large scale, and industrious miners and groups of miners graduated to what's called placer mining, using different tools to process larger volumes of gravel. Miners would also engage in "coyoteing" named after the wolf, a method that involved digging a shaft 6 to 13 meters deep into placer deposits along a stream. Tunnels were then dug in all directions to reach the richest veins of pay dirt.
