The discovery of gold in California triggered thousands of people to move to California during the 1800s. While not everyone found gold and became rich, the gold rush of the 1800s had a lasting effect on the United States. Who were the most famous gold hunters? Were prospectors only Americans? What were the gold mining camps like? Did anyone find any gold? This volume answers these questions and more in an engaging question-and-answer format that makes this time period accessible and comprehensible for readers of many levels.
