California Gold Rush: The Early Days is part of a comprehensive series of informational and engaging original texts each focusing on a specific aspect of the California Gold Rush. "The Early Days" focuses on the back story and first few months of 1848. Included is John Sutter, Sutter's Fort, James Marshall, Sutter's Mill, Sam Brannan, methods to test gold, and the entry of the U.S. into the territorial picture.For students working on Gold Rush projects, often there is too much information out there. Our California Gold Rush Series breaks the historical period into manageable chunks, so students can get in-depth information on one area of study or several.
