Who found gold first The first man to find gold was James Wilson Marshall while he was building a saw mill by a river. When he found it he was so exited that he started screaming, “I found gold!” back
What happened next Then they news went from California-the south coast. People from all over the U.S came to California to find gold by boat or by wagon. If you took a bout to California it would cost a lot of money and a long time and if you took a wagon it would not cost a lot but it would be hard, long and dangerous. back
How and were was gold found When James Wilson Marshall was working on a saw mill in fort Sutter. When he showed John Sutter, the man who hired him to make the saw mill, he thought it was fake but they tried to do all these things to see if it was real and sure enough it was real. He told his workers not to tell people because he did not want people on his land. back
How did people act when they gold Then people started finding gold and buying stuff with it. One man found gold and spent it on some beer. Another man had a bottle off gold powder and started yelling, “Gold! Gold! Gold!” Then something called the gold fever came. It is like the gold is calling you to come and get them. Back

If you went by wagon then you would face hard things like cholera or natives, starvation, and freezing cold. back
