3.0 out of 5 stars
slides, maps and lectures,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Gold Rush [VHS] (VHS Tape)
What greed and politics made of the new territory of California
when gold was discovered there. The Mexican war for Texas had spoils,; one of which was California. The political problem was how to get enough Americans there to really make the claim valid. That the Indians were killed and the land was grabbed from the Mexican-Spanish landholders is a side story to thousands of people crossing by ship or land in a very few years to California. They literally took over the place and changed the face of history all for the idea of getting rich quick. This documentary points out that the big winner wasn't the gold miner as you would have suspected, but merchants like Samuel Brannan of San Francisco. |
