Rush from Golden City by Miguel Zenón

*Rush
The California Gold Rush of 1848 was an unprecedented historical event, changing this part of the world in countless ways while simultaneously altering the way we think about migration, capitalism, ambition and success. It transformed San Francisco from a small settlement of about 200 people into a town of 30,000 within a span of 4 years and in many ways accelerated the population decline of Native Californians.
