Pioneer Girl Growing up on the Prairie Andrea Warren

The Gold Rush Teacher Read Aloud How do you think James Marshall feels at this point in the selection? Why? I think he feels happy and excited. He has just found gold. When people discover something of great value, it usually makes them feel this way.

Why does Sam Brannan walk down the streets of San Francisco shouting “Gold! Gold! Gold from the American River”? He wants people to go prospecting and they will buy the from his store.

Do you think everyone who heard the tales of gold believed them at first? No. The author says the tea box filled with gold dust served as proof. If someone needs proof then they are doubtful.

Do you think propaganda played a role in the 49’er’s plan to get rich quick? Why or why not?
