The Love of Gold (Aggie’s History Project)

Aggie wrote a short about the Gold Rush and the challenge women faced when they tried to stake a claim. Most ended up in laundry houses and general stores and married the men with the luckiest strikes. In our California study, we also learned about the birth of Hollywood and the silent film era, so she chose to tell the story in that medium. Big thanks to her friends and little sister for coming and playing their part.
