How Epic Fortunes Were Created During the California Gold Rush



On May 12, 1848, a store owner named Sam Brannan held a “one-man parade” to announce the start of the San Francisco Gold Rush.

“Gold! Gold from the American River!” Brannan shouted up and down Market Street in San Francisco. He held his hat in one hand and waved a bottle of gold dust in the other. San Franciscans had received false news of gold before. But by all accounts, Brannan’s performance sent residents running in search of riches.

Quote:
A gold rush is never really about the gold. It's about the people it attracts. That is the real source of wealth: the ambitious, striving individuals lured by gold who ultimately turn their energies to creating civilization.
And now San Fran is an open sewer of fecophiliacs, jews, illegal aliens, gender-fluid queers, and commies. It went from barbarism to decadence with the briefest period of civilization on record.
