In 1848, carpenter James Marshall made a chance discovery that would change the face of the American West. That discovery: a few shiny flakes-of gold Within months, gold fever was rife. The Californian Gold Rush was on, and people from all over the world rushed to California and neighboring states in search of their fortunes and the American Dream. The journey to the goldfields was dangerous, and many gold-seekers never made it, but the promise of gold inspired tens of thousands to push forward. After the goldfields grew bare, the resulting mines, boom towns, and westward expansion had altered the face of America forever.
