The discovery of gold in California brought in 300,000 gold seekers by 1850 bringing with them a variety of languages, religion, and social customs. Many came to only seek gold and not stay. The gold rush devastated California's native groups and they went from about 150,000 in 1848 to 30,000 in 12 years. Foreigners mined, hunted, and logged Native American most remote areas they began to raid mining camps for food. This led to more violence supported by the state government and organized parties to kill entire native groups. To accommodate the miners gold mining towns were built all over the region ( many are still there today). Shops , saloons, brothels were created to serve the miners. Life was hard in the mining camps and they lived together in groups of 5-6 men in one tent or cabin, their diet was poor, disease was bad, and many died. Some of the most enterprising people were the merchants who sold supplies to the miners. One of these was a butcher named Philip Armour who made a small fortune cutting meat in Placerville and with his fortune he went back to Chicago where he and his family became the largest meat packing company in the world.
