The gold rush was located along the Klondike river thats why people have many names for the gold rush because there were many places where it took place and the Klondike river was one of those places where hundreds or thousands of people went to find gold. Like I said before the Gold rush was called lots of things people even call it the disappointment of the generation or like the luckiest thing on earth but they usually call the gold rush the Klondike gold rush.

Thomas Fuller once said “we never know the worth of water till the well is dry” (Fuller). As a species we need water to cook, clean, and most importantly live. With water being a natural resource overuse and misuses of it can cause its supply to rapidly dwindle down, and that’s exactly what’s happening in California right now. California's water comes a married of places such as aquifers, groundwater, surface water, rivers, reservoirs, dams and irrigation systems where 80% of that water goes towards agriculture and 20% to urban/residential use. California’s water supply is so substandard that the state can’t even say their predicament is a drought, but it can be classified as a crisis. And to add insult to injury the states infrastructure has

Many folks that live in a dusty small town whoop and holler as they get ready to head out across a vast prairie in wagons that are in groups of four, while others load up all their belongings, and head towards the ships that will take them across stormy waters, and windy seas.

The California Gold Rush was a spectacular event in California’s history. It occurred from 1848-1855. Many people migrated to California to find the gold that was said to be there. This changed California from a dreary and unpopulated place to a thriving and happy place to be. Not everyone struck it rich, though, not even the person who discovered it, James W. Marshall. California’s motto, Eureka, is a reference to the Gold Rush. The California Gold Rush was a life-changing event for many people and is still thought of today.

The Gold Rush created many opportunities for up and coming entrepreneurs such as Levi Strauss, Henry Wells and William Fargo, as well as John Studebaker. Levi Strauss invented the blue jeans for the miners and the working class, which became loved by all. Levi Strauss went to San Francisco in 1853 to take advantage of the giant sales opportunity in California (PBS.com). Once in San Francisco, Levi opened up a store and began to sell merchandise. John Davis, a Nevada tailor, approached Levi Strauss and wanted to create a partnership for his heavy duty cotton work pants (PBS.com). The jeans became a huge success with miners, cowboys, and the working class. “By the end of 1873, thousands of San Franciscans were wearing Strauss and Davis's pants”

Douglas stood still as a stone in the camouflage of the wilderness of the passage. His longbow drawn back with a fine wood arrow complete with a sharp metallic head and duck feathers holstered on the string. He stared over to his colleague and best friend from his childhood years, Quinn. Quinn’s blue and white face paint reflecting his usual careless and sloppy attitude. Even when they were going to swarm over an English supply cart, their biggest mission with orders straight from Wallace himself, Quinn doesn’t even have a ready bow.

Gold is the greatest element ever to exist Maybe that’s why I chose to write about it It can be found in a solid state, in a river, or a faraway lake 196.9 is its total mass And it’s definitely a solid, not a gas Its weight is heavy to hold it feels smooth and cold Its yellow, shiny surface is very pretty, But it’s too expensive and soft to be used to make cities.

The gold rush was a big event that took place in July of 1897. It wasn’t a simple event, there was many hardships faced by the miners.

In the article, A women who went to alaska, the author also uses third person point of view to describe the lives of the miners, and the gold rush.
