THE END

Going for the gold.

The California Gold Rush

They went to where California is now because they wanted a better life and sometimes home. They also they wanted to be rich with gold.

Gold is mostly what they wanted from 1848 -1850. Most men preferred not to take their families with them.

Why they went

Where they mined? At mining camps

Some people paid more money to get to California than when they were there.

The first time gold was discovered was in 1848

Mostly men went gold mining Men often didn’t want to take their families

because they wanted to keep all the gold.

Great facts
