The "gold rush" began in earnest only after President James Polk endorsed the discovery in December 1848. Prospectors heading to California the following year were dubbed "forty-niners." Nearly 100,000 people arrived in California in 1849. Although many intended to make fortunes in gold, others capitalized on the miners themselves. Stores , saloons, laundries and other enterprises sprang up overnight in California boomtowns . For example, between 1848 and 1850

This catalog, published in celebration of the sesquicentennial of the 1848 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, shows the vitality of the arts in the Golden State during the latter nineteenth century and documents the dramatic impact of the Gold Rush on the American imagination. Among the throngs of gold-seekers in California were artists, many self-taught, others formally trained, and their arrival produced an outpouring of artistic works that provide insights into Gold Rush events, personages, and attitudes. The best-known painting of the Gold Rush era, C.C. Nahl's Sunday Morning in the Mines (1872), was created nearly two decades after gold fever had subsided. By then the Gold Rush's mythic qualities were well established, and new allegoriesparticularly the American belief in the rewards of hard work and enterprisecan be seen on Nahl's canvas. Other works added to the image of California as a destination for ambitious dreamers, an image that prevails to this day.

National Museum of American Art Washington, D.C. www.nmaa.si.edu "S ilver & Gold: Photographs of the Gold Rush," an exhibition featuring 115 seldom-seen images from the first major world event documented through photography, will be on view Oct. 30 through March 7, 1999, at the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The exhibition was organized by the Oakland Museum of California for the 150th anniversary of the discovery of gold. A complementary exhibition, "Art of the Gold Rush," runs concurrently and features paintings, watercolors and drawings by artists who worked in California during this historic period. Many of the rare daguerreotypes in "Silver & Gold," made between 1848 and 1860 by both known and unknown makers, depict the men and women who traveled West to seek their fortunes, their faces preserved in expressions of hope and uncertainty. In haunting scenes of early San Francisco and other frontier boom towns, and of the outlying mining camps, these photographic images reveal the harsh and primitive realities of life in early California. Only a handful of these remarkable portraits and documentary views, assembled from public and private collections by the Oakland Museum of California, have been previously exhibited or published. Works by unknown makers are displayed alongside those by such well-regarded daguerreotypists as Isaac Wallace Baker, Frederick Combs, Thomas Easterly, William Herman Rulofson, William Shew and Robert H. Vance.

The Gold Rush of California: A Bibliography of Periodical Articles by Robert LeRoy Santos California State University, Stanislaus Librarian University Archivist blsantos@csustan.edu REVISED EDITION 2002 Alley-Cass Publications 2240 Nordic Way Turlock, CA 95382 for California State University, Stanislaus Library/University Archive Turlock, CA Preface While beginning research on the California Gold Rush for the sesquicentennial, much to my surprise I could not locate a bibliography of any kind that listed periodical articles. Seeing this unfortunate oversight, I set out to compile one of my own and disseminate it to libraries, historical societies, and interested researchers. I have done very lengthy bibliographies in the past and know the rigors of the effort; thus, I was not anxious to begin yet another one. But I too knew that one learns much about the topic while doing the research, and yes, it does provide a certain degree of enjoyment and satisfaction which most sane people don't understand, besides how can anyone turn away from such article titles as "The Grave of Ephraim Brown" or "Goodbye God: We're Going to Bodie!"; how about settlement names such as Happy Camp, Poverty Hill, or Hangtown?; and yes, characters such as Joaquin Murieta, James Marshall, and Sam Brannan? No, it is not easy to ignore such a defining moment in western American history. The Gold Rush has really never lost its attraction, its excitement. It was truly a spectacular event where thousands of men, women, and children swarmed California seeking instant wealth. Think of the logistics, the sheer energy, and certainly the insanity of it all where the discovery of a flake of an earthly element caused humanity to lose control for a moment, pack belongings, and trudge thousands of miles into an unknown future. And to extend that thought further, to me,150 years later, who is attracted by the same adventure, but in a milder form, through its literature. So, with this bibliography, I invite you, my dear reader, to join me, and embark on a treasure hunt of the celebrated and notorious California Gold Rush.

Including posters, Academy Awards history, film genres, film terms, film history by decade, trivia, and lots of lists of 'best' films, stars, scenes, quotes, resources, etc. Buy This Film The Gold Rush (1925) is the quintessential Chaplin/Little Tramp film, with a balance of slapstick comedy and pantomime, social satire, and emotional and dramatic moments of tenderness. It was Chaplin's own personal favorite film, that showcases the classic Tramp character (referred to as "The Little Fellow" in the re-release version) as a romantic idealist and lone gold prospector at the turn of the century, with his cane, derby, distinctive walk, tight shabby suit, and mustache. Classic scenes include the starvation scene of two cabin-marooned prospectors boiling and fastidiously eating a stewed shoe, the Tramp's cabin-mate deliriously imagining his companion as a large chicken, the teetering cabin on the edge of a cliff, and Chaplin's lonely fantasized New Year's Eve party (with the dancing dinner rolls routine) when he waits for a girl who never comes. Early working titles for the film included Lucky Strike and The Northern Story . The film, inspired in part by the gruesome Donner Party story, was shot (over a period of 15 months from spring 1924-summer 1925) both on a Hollywood studio back lot and in Truckee, California/Nevada, and premiered in New York at the Strand Theatre in mid-August, 1925. Chaplin's film was re-released in 1942 with added sound narration and music, both spoken and composed/arranged by Chaplin.

Boards San Francisco Introduction Planning a Trip For Foreign Visitors ... Index History The Age of Discovery The Gold Rush Boomtown Fever The Great Fire ... 2001: A Reality Check The Gold Rush The year 1848 was one of the most pivotal in European history, with unrest sweeping through Europe, horrendous poverty in Ireland, and widespread disillusionment about hopes for prosperity throughout Europe and the East Coast of the United States. Stories about the golden port of San Francisco and the agrarian wealth of the American West filtered slowly east, attracting slow-moving groups of settlers. Ex-sailor Richard Henry Dana extolled the virtues of California in his best-selling novel, Two Years Before the Mast, and helped fire the public's imagination about the territory's bounty, particularly that of the Bay Area. The first overland party crossed the Sierra and arrived in California in 1841. San Francisco grew steadily, reaching a population of approximately 900 by April 1848, but nothing hinted at the population explosion that was to follow. Historian Barry Parr has referred to the California gold rush as the most extraordinary event to ever befall an American city in peacetime. Even without the lure of gold, San Francisco's winning combination of raw materials, healthful climate, and freedom would eventually have attracted thousands of settlers. But the gleam of the soft metal is said to have compressed 50 years of normal growth into less than 6 months. In 1848, the year gold was discovered, the population of San Francisco jumped from under 1,000 to 26,000. As many as 100,000 more passed through San Francisco in the space of less than a year on their way to the rocky hinterlands where the gold was rumored to be.

Companion Book/Video About "The Gold Rush" Program Emmy Award-winning Actor John Lithgow Narrates January 1998 marks the 150th anniversary of an accidental discovery that led to one of the greatest quests in American history the California Gold Rush. A new television documentary, narrated by Emmy award-winning actor John Lithgow, chronicles this American odyssey and airs on PBS at 10 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 1998. "The Gold Rush," underwritten by Wells Fargo Bank, kicks off a nationwide celebration of the 150th anniversary of the discovery of gold. Documentary filmmakers Michael Trinklein and Steven Boettcher, who spent three years researching and producing the film, see the Gold Rush as the singular event that re-defined the American Dream. "Before the Gold Rush, we were a nation of staid farmers," said Trinklein, writer and co-producer of "The Gold Rush." "But the discovery of gold ushered in the kind of free-wheeling, risk-taking entrepreneurialism that has defined America ever since." Lumberman James Marshall inadvertently discovered the first gold nuggets on Jan. 24, 1848, while building a sawmill on the American River. The find sent a shockwave across the United States and the entire world. Soon nearly every ambitious young man and many women were en route to California in search of instant riches. They traveled from all corners of the world, including Mexico, China, Germany, France and Turkey. Most left home in 1849, and hence were dubbed "forty-niners."

The frieze is the work of three artists. It was designed by Constantino Brumidi, an Italian artist who studied in Rome before emigrating to America. He worked at the Capitol over a period of twenty-five years, decorating numerous committee rooms and the areas known as the Brumidi Corridors; he also painted the Rotunda canopy fresco, The Apotheosis of Washington . Brumidi created a sketch for the Rotunda frieze in 1859 but was not authorized to begin work until 1877. After enlarging the sketches for the first scenes, Brumidi began painting the frieze in 1878, at the age of 73. His design traces America's history from the landing of Columbus to the discovery of gold in California. As was common in the history books of the day, the Spanish explorers and the Revolutionary War are emphasized. While working on the figure of William Penn in the scene "William Penn and the Indians," Brumidi's chair slipped on the scaffold platform. He saved himself from falling only by clinging to the rung of a ladder for 15 minutes until he was rescued. He returned to the scaffold once more but then worked on enlarging his remaining sketches until his death a few months later in February 1880.
