Routes to CA
The trip over land was 2,100
miles if traveling along the
California Trail and took
anywhere from six to nine.
The gold rush attracted
some of the first chinese
immigrants. Between March
and August of that year, they
came to San Francisco then
Sonoma, San Jose, Santa
Cruz, and Monterey. Until
midsummer Californians had
sole possession of the

immigrants came in the year
1849, when the news of gold
