Gold Rush
Email this page to a friend with a personal message A pea-sized gold nugget was unearthed at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California 152 years ago on January 24, 1848. Although the news did spread, Sam Brannan, a San Francisco newspaperman, is credited with starting the actual rush on May 12 when he walked the streets of San Francisco holding up a quinine bottle filled with gold nuggets and shouting, "Gold, gold, gold, from the American River." Within three days, a third of the city's 600 men were on their way to Sutter's Mill. By mid-June, Brannan's newspaper had to suspend publication because his entire staff had run off to gold country.

Gold Rush History
4th Grade Curriculum
Our California Gold Rush History Program covers a unique blend of Social Science curriculum topics, including: physical and human geography of California, Native American cultures, the economic, social, and political effects of the California Gold Rush. Our Science curriculum topics include: earth structure, rock formation, erosion, plate tectonics, faulting, soil composition, formation and layering and the geological impacts of human activities. Students can see a representation of the town of Coloma in the Gold Rush days at Marshall Gold Discovery Park, the site of gold discovery in 1848, which is located less than three miles from our camp. At Mother Lode River Center students have the opportunity to pan for their own gold and make Dutch oven cornbread in the style of the old miners. Click below to view a sample One-day Gold Rush History Program, or to see the Science and Social Science Content Standards that we have derived our program from. These content standards have been taken from the California Department of Education Science and Social Science Standards for the 4th Grade.

Exploring the beach of our camp, students will find their favorite rocks which instructors will help them learn to identify as being one of the three basic types of rocks (metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous). They will then play games that help them understand how such rocks are formed in the "rock cycle". The three types of mining (placer, hard rock and hydraulic) will come alive with "Sutter Says", a dynamic game that will help them understand the various methods the miners used to find gold.

Homepage Review Index Outline Flash Cards ... Search DIGITAL HISTORY FEATURE - THE GOLD RUSH The discovery of gold in California in 1848 prompted thousands of Americans to leave their homes and travel long distances seeking their fortunes. The lure of making a quick buck, coupled with the lawlessness of California in the 1840s, meant prospectors competed with each other while fending for themselves and their families. Along the way, fortunes were made, lives were lost, and new communities sprung up as the "Forty-niners" settled into life on the coast. In addition, many Americans traversed the isthmus of Panama enroute to California in search of gold, and a new ear in diplomacy was born. From 1848 until 1900, U.S. soldiers invaded Panamanian soil more than ten times in defense of the Panama Railroad, which was constructed by American financiers during the 1840s and 1850s to facilitate easier passage by the Forty-niners. These materials consider the gold strike and the rush that it triggered. Using these documents, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
  • Who were these "Forty-niners," and what drove them to head west?

What was the Gold Rush?
Where was the Gold Rush?
There have been many gold rushes in the history of the United States. The two most famous are the 1849 in California and the Klondike Stampede in the the late 1890s in Alaska and the Yukon Territory of Canada. The gold rush that affected Valdez and the Prince William Sound Region was the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897. It began when the ships Excelsior and Portland reached their "lower 48" ports in July 1897, laden with gold. The stories spread like wildfire and people rushed to find riches beyond imagination. An All American route to the gold fields was desired. Valdez and a route over the Valdez Glacier were marketed by steamship companies as the "All American" route to the Klondike. Thus began Valdez's history as a transportation hub for interior Alaska. Unfortunately for many, by the time they reached the Klondike all the claims had been staked and they were forced to look elsewhere. Others decided not to attempt the arduous journey from the coast to the Interior and elected to find their fortunes closer to their ports of entry. This is the way many of the gold and copper mines in the Prince William Sound Region were found. Once a miner landed in Valdez, they had to pack their 1500 pounds of gear to the foot of Valdez Glacier to begin their ascent. The Glacier rose approximately 4,800 feet and it was a twenty mile hike to the top. Miners were victims of storms, avalanches, crevasses; all which claimed some of the intrepid souls. Provisions had to be packed up the Glacier in stages. The miners had arrived in Valdez only to find their trips had only really just begun. Some chose not to go further and either stayed in the Prince William Sound Region or returned home.

The S.S. Central America
A Brief History S.S. Central America Time Line

Here is a brief recap of the S.S. Central America story.
October 28, 1852: Operated by the United States Mail Steamship Company, the legendary S.S. Central America is launched. Originally named, S.S. George Law, it was a three-masted, 272-feet long sidewheel steamship that made 43 round trips between New York City and Panama. Each leg of the voyage usually took between 19 to 24 days to complete.
1852 to1857: The Central America transported an estimated one-third of the entire California Gold Rush output. That one-third was valued at the time at approximately $150 million.
The precious cargo included approximately 5,200 recently-minted $20- denomination ("Double Eagle") gold pieces produced in 1857 at the San Francisco Mint. The gold for these coins was mined during the California Gold Rush. There also was a much smaller quantity of other historic gold coins that circulated in the Wild West. (These will be released later for purchase by individuals).
Friday, September 11, 1857: In the second day of a hurricane the ship sprang a leak at 9 a.m. Passengers were ordered to assist the crew in bailing. The ship sank at about 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, about 160 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, drowning a total of 426 passengers and crew, including Captain William Lewis Herndon.

All about the Gold Rush
Preface
The gold rush and the American Dream.
Discovery
Marshall finds gold. Sutter wishes he hadn't. Sam Brannan, the skilled craftsman of hype.
Fever
Word travels east. Thousands prepare for the journey. Why do we call them "49ers" anyway?
The Journey
Four months on a ship versus four months on foot. Shortcuts that weren't. The $100 glass of water. Gold Country Plenty of gold, but not enough food. Raw entrepreneurialism. Famous success stories. The truth about women in the gold rush. Despair The gold runs out but the miners keep trying. The dream that never came true.
Collision of Cultures
Chinese, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexicans, Irish, French, Germans and pretty much everyone else create the ultimate melting pot.
Changes
Mining becomes mechanized and the environment suffers horribly.

Gold Rush for Teachers and Parents
The Gold Rush site offers lots of information about this fascinating moment in American history, looking at the Californios, the Spanish-speaking community that had been in California since the mid-1700s; the various routes Forty-Niners took to reach the gold fields, with mixed success; and the overall history of the Gold Rush. Visitors can also read an interview with the project director for Gold Fever!, the biggest Gold Rush exhibit ever produced, and find out about people connected to this period, from the landowner on whose land gold was originally found to the many people who benefited from the Gold Rush without ever entering a mine. For Teachers:
  • Explore the Journey of the Forty-Niners feature on this site. Then have students locate the various routes the Forty-Niners took to reach California on a topographical map. They can add the various other overland trails west taken to Santa Fe, Oregon, Salt Lake, and other parts of the West. They might even want to add the little-known Death Valley route of the Forty-Niners (read about it in Lost in Death Valley: The True Story of Four Families in California's Gold Rush by Connie Goldsmith). Then have students choose one of these trails to research, drawing upon primary sources, newspaper advertisements, reference books, and literature in order to write a diary as one of the Forty-Niners coming west or a western settler coming in pursuit of another goal.

    The Sacramento's banks are lined,
    "They" credibly inform me,
    With metals of the richest kind- I must see California. - unidentified gold miner, California, 1849 It was January, 1848 and James Marshall, a New Jersey carpenter, was building a sawmill near Sutter's Mill, California. Marshall picked up a small gold nugget and announced to the laborers, "Boys," by God, I believe I have found a gold mine." The California Gold Rush had officially begun. People poured into California from all over the world and the "Golden State" would never be the same again. During the next six years, over 300,000 (or about one out of every 90 people then in the United States) had found their way to California to seek their fortunes. But, not everyone panned for gold, and not everyone that panned for gold became rich. In fact, most Gold Rush fortunes were made selling supplies, such as shovels, Levi's and even fruit pies, to the continuous waves of optimistic miners. The stories of the people of the Gold Rush are fascinating! The Gold Rush is not only an engaging and exciting period of history, it is a great opportunity for lessons in history, geography, social studies and a lot more. Education Planet has searched the web to offer you some "solid gold" resources, including web sites, lesson plans and activities all relating to the Gold Rush. You will also find a great list of educational resources, including books, posters, maps, reproducibles, videos and more, all available through the Education Planet Store.
