The California Gold Rush started in 1848 and ended in 1859. A man named James Marshall was building a saw mill when he spotted a flash of gold the size of a pea in the river, which was about a foot deep then. He picked it up, and it looked like gold. At first he thought it was Iron Pyrite, (Fools Gold) but he smashed it with a rock and it flatted without breaking. He didn't think it was proof of a big find, and he though it was mixed with other metals. So he took it to a guy named John Sutter, the man he was building the saw mill for. They tested it and found it was pure gold. Marshall promised the men that were helping him build the saw mill that they would hunt for gold after they finished building, and agreed to keep it secret. But some people spread the word, and slowly at first, then faster, The Gold Rush began.

The richest man from gold mining during the California Gold Rush was John Sutter. Although he initially discovered gold on his property in 1848, Sutter himself did not profit significantly from the gold rush as his business ventures collapsed due to the influx of miners. However, other miners and entrepreneurs, like Levi Strauss, became wealthy indirectly from the gold rush, with Strauss making a fortune by supplying goods to miners.
