Sam Brannan arrived in California in 1846, opening a general store in San Francisco. When gold was discovered in 1848, Brannan was one of the first to find out. He bought every shovel, pan and pickaxe he could find, creating a monopoly over those supplies in California. He then publicized the find in San Francisco.Every miner had to stop at Brannan's store to stock up on supplies. Before long, Sam Brannan was the first millionaire west of the Mississippi.
