The discovery of gold.
If they were lucky enough to be close to a doctor, they could have gotten medical care. If they weren't, they probably died. Most people were more interested in mining than helping their ailing neighbors.
Some of their gold was from other kindoms they conquered and most of it was from their land. Ancient Egypt had alot of gold underground.
Officially it began in 1848, but most people arrived (by most we mean nearly 95%) in and around 1849, hence the name 49'ers for the San Francisco Football team, most people by boat landed in San Francisco and took a carriage or wagon to Sacramento then to the mining towns on the mountains in the Sierra Mountain Range...it lasted until about 1853, then a trickle continued until about 1875 when another small mine was found and a minor rush began again. California became a state in 1850.

Very few of the "49'ers" - the people who went to California in 1849 and the following couple of years - ever struck gold and got rich. Most of them became merchants or farmers or ranchers, and their descendants still live here in California for the most part. Some people DID get rich, not by MINING gold, but from selling things that the miners needed.
