Gold Rush: The Discovery of America

Taglines

Overview

The discovery of gold nuggets in the Sacramento Valley in early 1848 sparked the Gold Rush, arguably one of the most significant events to shape American history during the first half of the 19th century. As news spread of the discovery, thousands of prospective gold miners traveled by sea or over land to San Francisco and the surrounding area; by the end of 1849, the non-native population of the California territory was some 100,000 (compared with the pre-1848 figure of less than 1,000). A total of $2 billion worth of precious metal was extracted from the area during the Gold Rush, which peaked in 1852. This captivating, new documentary series explores the stories of struggle and triumph of the thousands who risked everything for the pursuit of wealth and the illusive American Dream.

Overview

De ontdekking van goudklompjes in de Sacramento Valley begin 1848 leidde tot de Gold Rush, misschien wel een van de belangrijkste gebeurtenissen in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis in de eerste helft van de 19e eeuw. Naarmate het nieuws over de ontdekking zich verspreidde, reisden duizenden potentiële goudzoekers over zee of land naar San Francisco en omgeving; eind 1849 telde de niet-inheemse bevolking van het Californische territorium zo'n 100.000 inwoners (vergeleken met minder dan 1.000 inwoners vóór 1848). Tijdens de Gold Rush, die zijn hoogtepunt bereikte in 1852, werd in totaal $ 2 miljard aan edelmetaal uit het gebied gewonnen. Deze boeiende, nieuwe documentaireserie verkent de verhalen over de strijd en triomf van de duizenden die alles riskeerden voor de jacht op rijkdom en de ongrijpbare Amerikaanse Droom.
