Explanation:

There are two sides to a coin and whatever that has advantage(s) will surely have disadvantage(s). The period or year in which many people or miners started looking for gold in California was in the year 1848 on the 24th day of the month of January.

There are three ways in which the miners can reach California and they are through overland or sea or through both depending on the starting point.
