California
Gold Rush Word Puzzle
Eureka!
When gold was discovered in California by James Marshall in
1848, everyone wanted a piece of the action. People came
from all over the world, from the East Coast of the United
States and all the way to China, to seek their fortunes.
But sometimes it was not in the gold that money was made, but
in the jobs people did for the miners, such as blacksmithing
or selling tools. The Gold Rush brought thousands of
people into California and helped to establish the region as a
state.
