After James W. Marshall found gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848, the California gold rush began. The gold seekers, known as forty-niners because of the large group that came to California in 1849, headed West using the Oregon Trail at first, and then breaking off their own separate trail to California. This book details the adventure that those pioneers faced as they headed on the trail to California to seek their fortunes.
