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. Think back to the conquistadors, one of the things they were fascinating about was the quest for gold. An unquenchable desire for Precious Metals, gold above all, but also silver.

Fallen state talking about his child with the wife of uriah, the lamenting and anguish as he implored the lord to fix things that humans can mess up. Well, the lord didnt immediately answer the prayer of life for that child and after seven days that child died but david arose and went forth he sat down for bread and he praised god and he led his people into the greatest times of blessing and rejoicing that that family had ever seen.
