Dear Mother,

We have arrived in Eureka after traveling to Eureka with my brother Armando we finally found a claim. We have decided we will both be half Blacksmith half Miner. So we bought an pickaxe ,axe , and shovel. Armando and I  got our own nicknames mine is Gold Gabe Armando's was Arm Dog. Here in Eureka is a very busy place. On the way here we got robbed but we escaped with the money. With the things we got we started to sell the pickaxes we made we sold 30 of them and sold them for $150 dollars. It’s been a year but were getting rich even without gold we have $45000. We just found a huge gold piece we have found 5 huge gold pieces. We sold a lot of shovels, pickaxes and wash pans with all that money we have 1 billion dollars.

Sincerely,

Your son Gold Gabe

Dear Mom and Dad,

I went to the gold rush and I found out we have a bill, so I left home to get gold.  I pretended to be a dentist that’s how I’ll get gold. Now I’m in Hangtown.  I shouted out “I’m a dentist!”  I need 100 gold pieces, but for me gold tooth is what I am looking for. 90 percent pass then I got 99 patients, but the last one came and no gold tooth.  So, I hurried up still no gold  tooth found for the the bill. Suddenly, I spotted a gold nugget the bill was paid at last.

Love your good son,Omar Jr,

Dear ma and pa,

I just arrived Hangtown. It is said that Hangtown has the most gold and the most outlaws in the state. While Jamoka Jath, prairie pirate zuleyemi, and I were traveling to Hangtown, we came across some outlaws.  They started to rob us but I wasn’t going without a fight. I pulled out my pistol and aimed. They pulled out their pistol but put it back and ran with nothin. When we got there we went to a hotel and slept. The next morning I changed my name to 40 Miner and started to pan for gold while jath and zuleymi went for jamoka. When they came back with the jamoka,I already found a little bit of yeller stuff. That when they started calling me the “40 Miner” even though I’m 14. I found more yeller stuff to last me a lifetime. So I started to pack my things, give some gold dust to Jath and Zuleymi and left for Boston. There I’m living the rest of my life.

Sinsearly,

Your daughter 40 Miner

July 30 1850 Dear, Mother

I  was going to California with my butler  California. We put are horse on the wagon and Sally and Bud. We had some snacks to go like nuts and vegetables. I  were going and we found a blacksmith and we were broke. I said When we got to California we were scared about the snakes going to California. My butler had a world map. He said I wish we were in California past 4 month . We were in California and we went to a farmer named Kaylee. My Butler asked Where are we Kaylee said Sacramento. It was a Boom Town over Gold.  We left and Miner named Fire Noe he said it was dangerous down those caves . He said a man named Jonathan got some yeller stuff. Butler said what's is yeller stuff noe said you need a lot to know. Restaurant owner told me only rich people eat here and we said this is the only restaurant. But the waiter was very rich he bought food for us. And his name was Michael. We went to a blacksmith he was rusty we bought pickaxe and a horn spoon from a rich man  he was the restaurant owner he said this is great for looking for yeller stuff. He said it was past down from his dad's grandpa.  We got rich because of the great horn spoon. We thanked the restaurant  owner for giving us the great horn spoon. We took it to the bank and exchange it for money
