What did miners do for fun during the CA gold rush?
Miners were a rough group living in hard conditions so they drank and went to the saloons. There is a gold rush town named Hangtown ( still exists today) where the judge hung men for breaking the law. Every gold town had a jail because the miners would gamble, drink, and visit prostitutes. The gold rush towns had very few families and were mainly all men. If you are on the west coast you can visit a state of California historical site called Columbia that is a preserved gold rush town. It is free to visit and even has picnic tables for having a nice lunch.

How did women help shape America?
During the California "Gold Rush" in 1849, there were approximately 500,000 men from the east coast searching for gold. Women from the east coast of the US numbered only in the hundreds. California was LAWLESS; with shootings, hangings, and claim jumping (stealing another prospector's mining rights/robbery). Most, if not all of the women were located in the civilized regions of large cities...San Francisco, etc. And they were small in number. After the Gold Rush in the early 1850's, women arrived from the east coast via stage/wagon train/and steamers (ships). LAW & ORDER came with them...civilization!
