California - Gold Rush Map

On January 28, 1848 John Sutter discovered gold at his mill outside of Coloma, California. As news spread of the find, floods of people from all around the world descended upon the sleepy corner of the American west. Covered wagons dotted the landscape as travelers set out on the perilous journey through hostile Indian country, blistering deserts, and ominous mountain passes. Some chose to make the long journey by boat, which brought them to the tiny hamlet of San Francisco. By 1849, San Francisco was a bustling boomtown and the waves of eager adventure seekers continued to push the Native American and Californio populations off their traditional lands. The year is now 1850, and still the thirst for gold has not been quenched. The Californio population of the south is starting to push back, eager to regain the losses suffered during the Mexican-American War. The Northern Indians in the Siskiyou Mountains have formed an alliance, desperate to turn the tide and hold on to what is rightfully theirs. Is it too late? Will California be overrun by "forty-niners?" Or will the rush for gold be stopped in its tracks?
