In 1848, a carpenter found gold in a river in California. The news
spread quickly, and soon prospectors from across the country were
arriving to pursue their fortunes. This mass migration, known as
the Gold Rush, reshaped the United States by drastically
accelerating the immigration to the far West. It transformed
American society, as many citizens embraced in California a
newfound independence and release from traditions. Perhaps most
importantly, it remolded the American character, turning a country
of settled farmers into a nation of forward-thinking risk-takers.
""The California Gold Rush"" explores how this pivotal era
introduced new ideas about work and wealth, luck and greed, and
success and failure, into the way Americans looked at their lives,
their livelihoods, and most of all, themselves.
