The Frontier THE RUSH FOR GOLD
The newly acquired territory of California would prove invaluable as the chance discovery of gold unleashes the largest migration in US history and ignites a vicious debate on slavery, culminating in the American Civil War.
The Frontier explores the legends, events and folklore of the American frontier which have embedded themselves into its culture so much so that the Old West, especially the Western genre of films, has become one of the defining periods of American national identity.
