My journey to western California in the 1800's by wagon. We write a letter to a friend in the East, encouraging or discouraging them to making the same trip.
<h3>Letter to family</h3>
Here in California, the news of gold brought in approximately 300,000 people. The sudden influx of gold into the money supply reinvigorated the American economy, and the sudden increase in population allowed California to quickly become a state.
