Join Ken Sorensen for an engaging lecture on the California Gold Rush and the discovery that changed the world. Beginning with James Marshall’s find at Sutter’s Mill, this talk explores the hopes, myths, and realities that drew people from across the globe to California.
Hear the stories of those who came seeking fortune—figures like Levi Strauss and Heinrich Schliemann—and learn how this sudden influx of people reshaped economies, societies, and ultimately led to the creation of the state of California.
