Traveled to california, the physical geography of the area and evolving Technology Used to mine gold. Good morning everybody. The topic of our lecture is the history of the gold rush and i will talk mainly about california in the years following 1848. But gold played a very, very Important Role in American History.

We saw about the economic transformations and the effects of those changes in the economy as far as lifestyles both of the very rich, these opulent robert baron lifestyles on the one hand and on the other hand on the very poor but it was the People Living shacks of the new england newtowns or whether it was when we explored the gilded age city, the increasing problems of housing that came with this rapid and in many ways, chaotic birth of the cities in the 19th century in all of it accompanied by problems going along with immigration. And then last time, we saw in particular there was some frustration with this new gilded age regime as we talk about the farmers in this period. That lecture really couldve been called the discontent in the gilded age part one. Today, we turn our attention mostly back
