The 1849 California gold rush attracted Americans from all walks of life. Of course the first Americans involved were miners. As news of the gold discovery spread, people from US cities, and farmlands became gold miners. Thus California's population instantly grew in size and a good number of the new miners became rich, not all however.

What is a brand of denim jeans?
The best-known brand of denim jeans are made by Levi Strauss & Company, generally known as "Levis". Levi Strauss had been a tailor in New York who, hearing of the discovery of gold in California in 1848, took ship around Cape Horn with plans to start a tailoring business in San Francisco. Unfortunately, his shipments of fine fabrics had been lost in the passage, and he was only able to obtain a very heavy cotton cloth called "denim", often used to make ships' sails. Strauss proceeded to make his fortune sewing very sturdy and durable clothing for the gold miners in California. It's curious that very few gold miners ever "struck it rich" and went home with fortunes. It was the merchants who SOLD things to gold miners who became wealthy and famous.
