Gold was discovered in California sparking the Gold Rush. James Marshall found gold pebbles while building a sawmill for John Sutter in 1848. This led thousands of people to rush to California to seek their fortune in gold. Many entrepreneurs like Sam Brannan and Levi Strauss capitalized on the boom by supplying prospectors with goods.
