The California Gold Rush



Fourth graders are learning about an exciting episode of California history - the Gold Rush.  Gold was discovered on the American River in early 1848.  By 1849, news had spread across the country and beyond.  Thousands of eager gold seekers showed up looking for riches.  Our new story, By the Great Horn Spoon, is set during this time.
