January 1848 – August 1849: Gold is discovered in California and the new American dream is born. As the news spreads across the country, over 300,000 people—one out of every 90 Americans—drop everything and head west with hopes of striking it rich. Among the prospectors making the journey is an outfit of 40 men known as Boston Company.
As waves of 49ers descend on California, shopkeeper Sam Brannan makes a move that will forever change the gold rush. He purchases every pan, pickaxe and shovel on the west coast—and begins selling them to gold hungry miners at massively inflated prices—making him the first millionaire in the West, with influence to match. When Boston Company finally arrives in California, they find that the gold fields are already packed and the easy pickings are gone. They have no choice but to play into Sam Brannan’s game.

With over $5 billion dollars being pulled out of the gold fields every year, it doesn't take long before the Gold Rush grabs the attention of big business back east. As those companies start heading to California, everyday miners like the Boston Company continue to toil in the gold fields, completely unaware that the gold rush may soon be ending for the little guy.
