Immigration When they first arrived in the United States, Asian (usually Chinese) immigrants were welcomed, or at least tolerated. After the California gold rush brought thousands of Chinese to California, however, Asian immigrants faced restrictive laws and occasional violence. In the late 1800s Chinese, and eventually other Asians, were excluded from citizenship . These laws were repealed during World War II , followed by further immigration-law changes, making it easier for Asians to enter the United States. Today, Asian immigrants have a high rate of assimilation and participation in the American mosaic. Gold Rush Boom The Chinese were the first Asians to arrive in large numbers. By the 1830s Chinese were selling goods in New York City and toiling in Hawaiian sugarcane fields. Gold was discovered in California in 1848, eventually attracting thousands of Chinese miners and contract laborers. In 1850, just

44. | Book Review | The Western Historical Quarterly, 33.2 | The History Cooperative I highly recommend this volume to readers interested in the gold rush andits many ramifications for California, western, and american history. 5. http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whq/33.2/br_3.html

Book Review Rooted in Barbarous Soil: People, Culture, and Community in Gold Rush California I n this third volume of the California Historical Society's Sesquicentennial Series , twelve noted scholars challenge traditional assumptions about the California Gold Rush. In place of the image of rough, unshaven, lone, (white) American miners panning for gold, these essays describe immigrants and women in the Gold Rush, its cultured, urban character, and its place in the history of California's racial and ethnic relations. These essays also explore the complex meanings and relationships that argonauts forged from their experiences. Kevin Starr and Malcolm Rohrbough effectively set the stage in their respective essays. Starr argues that Gold-Rush California became "an American place with a difference," while Rohrbough captures the excitement, appeal, strangeness, and disruption of the early Gold Rush (p. 83). Sucheng Chan and James Sandos examine questions of nativism, ethnicity, and racism in Gold-Rush California and the extent to which Indians, Californios, and non-American immigrants resisted the sometimes devastating consequences of competition for land and wealth. Nancy Taniguchi points out that women were important Gold-Rush actors who, like non-white men, took advantage of new opportunities while being pushed into more traditionally acceptable roles. While these essays challenge readers to see the Gold Rush in new ways, the collection's framing concepts of "barbarity" and "civilization" raise troubling questions. Do such terms validate a particular white, middle-class hegemony as "civilized"? Might such a formulation lead readers to see pre-Gold-Rush California, not just the Gold Rush itself, as the "barbarous soil" from which California society grew? Perhaps the title phrase was intended to be ironic, but this is not explicit. In a volume engaged with the contested meanings and cultures of the Gold Rush, this formulation is particularly unsettling.

Visit the Historic Photo Gallery , to see these photos and more C alifornia is called the Golden State possibly for many reasons, among which, and in addition to the abundant sunshine, is the exciting and colorful history of the Gold Rush. Along the Mother Lode Highway 49 on the way to Coloma, among the flowering white dogwoods, olive colored oaks and towering cedar, there are remnants of this history: old stone cabins and buildings, mining equipment, and stamp mills that were used to crush gold-bearing quartz. On an icy cold morning early in 1848, James Wilson Marshall, a carpenter from New Jersey, picked up a few nuggets of gold from the American River at the site of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter near Coloma. By August, the hills above the river were strewn with wood huts and tents as the first of 4,000 miners lured by the gold discovery scrambled to strike it rich. Prospectors, from the East sailed around Cape Horn. Some hiked across the Isthmus of Panama, and by 1849, about 40,000 came to San Franciso by sea alone. Nearly $2,000,000,000 in gold was taken from the earth before mining became dormant. The upheaval was enormous. Native American cultures that had lasted for thousands of years in California were lost and destroyed. But the Mormon economy in Utah flourished with the large gold riches funneled into their banks. The old Mexican province suddenly became a new state. The gold that enriched California may have even precipitated the Civil War.

Tax Free Gold Home INTRODUCTION The History of Precious Metals GOLD COINS US Gold Coins Canadian Gold Coins European Gold Coins Other Gold Coins SILVER COINS Silver Coins COMMEMORATIVES LINKS Gold Investor Gold There are three reasons why people have alwasy placed a high value on gold: its beauty, its usefulness, and its scarcity. Gold is a soft yellow metal. It is one of the heaviest elements, 200 cubic centimeters weights over 540 kilograms. Gold is also one of the most easily worked metals. It is so easy to hammer and shape that less than one gram of gold can ge beaten into a sheet two meteres square. Unlike other metals, gold does not tarnish in the presence of air and can remain bright and shiny for ever. And this is probably one of the reasons why people have always valued it. Gold has been mined and used for centuries. In the United States, gold fever reached its height in the 19th century. 1848 saw the start of the California gold rush. More than $500 million in gold was to be mined in California over the next decade. In 1896, a similar gold rush occurred in Alaska. The worlds largest gold deposits were discovered in South Africa in 1886. These deposits are still being mined for gold, diamonds, and many other minearls even today.
