Summary:
When gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill, California, in 1848, some 300,000 people from the rest of the United States and abroad flooded the region to try to strike it rich. Using re-creations, archival photos, and interviews with noted historians, this program examines the quest for wealth as well as the far-reaching impact the Gold Rush had on the nation's economic, geographic, and psychic landscape.
