For 20 historic years gold rush settlers here lived lives of great peril. Days of hard travel via steep hills, dry desert land They endured weather extremes of heat and cold. Rivers took many lives.  They were pulled the by hope of great wealth and pushed from a home of terrible financial poverty and squalor.   Studies Interested groups visit museums, old gold mining towns, ghost towns and old mining areas. We lean to understand the forces and turmoil that gold rush settlers endured both in their dwellings and at their work places.  We discover the problems of lawlessness and we learn a lot about ourselves and our modern societies by learning about human needs in a dry land.   MORE  Gold Rush settlers Mining & Milling Zone
