The Comstock Lode
The Railroad Strike.
The California Gold Rush started in 1848 and ended in 1859. A man named James Marshall was building a saw mill when he spotted a flash of gold the size of a pea in the river, which was about a foot deep then. He picked it up, and it looked like gold. At first he thought it was Iron Pyrite, (Fools Gold) but he smashed it with a rock and it flatted without breaking. He didn't think it was proof of a big find, and he though it was mixed with other metals. So he took it to a guy named John Sutter, the man he was building the saw mill for. They tested it and found it was pure gold. Marshall promised the men that were helping him build the saw mill that they would hunt for gold after they finished building, and agreed to keep it secret. But some people spread the word, and slowly at first, then faster, The Gold Rush began.
Not really, but it did change California a lot. roads, towns, churches, and school. especially in San Francisco that grew from a small settlement to a big one, that was in the year 1846 to 1852.

big reason people immigrated there and the California gold rush spurred westward movement
they were pioneers that wanted to seek for gold in California after James Marshall (working for John Sutter) found gold in california. Most miners did not get rich and went home without much more than when they first left
the population boomed due to the fact that families were making more money and had a chance to strike it big.
The river gold was discovered in was near the Sacramento River.
in north california well in north california was the most sightings and the first bigfoot footage
If you were lucky you made about $16 in gold per day.
