In 1849, during the California Gold Rush, the cost to travel to California varied significantly depending on the mode of transportation. Overland travel could cost around $200 to $300 per person, while those traveling by sea could spend upwards of $1,000, especially if taking a longer route around Cape Horn. The journey was often arduous and risky, with many travelers facing hardships along the way. Overall, the cost was substantial compared to average wages at the time.
