More than one hundred years ago, thousands of men, women, and children moved to the western portions of the United States. In the 1800s, gold was discovered in California. Anyone that found gold could instantly become rich. Rarely, did this happen. A few clever individuals noticed the true gold that was filling the state. It was in the form of human beings. These same individuals that had hoped to find riches needed clothing, food, and a place to rest their heads at night. At this time, the West was a combination of forest and desert sprinkled with a few Native American reservations. The newly created cities were fertile grounds for the businesses that the new citizens saw back at home. Anyone with foresight could see the possibilities that industry could bring.
It is said that some found wealth in the West although they never discovered gold. What does this mean?
This means that wealth was found through developing businesses and that newcomers to the West did not have to only find gold in order to become rich.
