Gold prospecting in 19th century America was a tumultuous and transformative period characterized by massive migrations, economic speculation, and dreams of instant wealth that fundamentally reshaped the western territories. The California Gold Rush of 1849 epitomized this era, drawing approximately 300,000 prospectors from around the world who braved incredible hardships, traveling thousands of miles by land and sea in hopes of striking it rich.
