If I lived in 1849, I would probably have GOLD FEVER!  I would go on a ship to get out west, if I lived in the time.  You would not get very much gold, but I would enjoy living in the place.  I think I would live in a shack.  Maybe I would have different clothes than where I came from, but I probably wouldn’t like it with so many people living there.  I think that it would be a great adventure!  They didn’t have very much fashion back then because they needed sturdy mining clothes, but I think that I would still like it.  Oh, and there is no lipgloss.  The merchants would get a lot of my money.  I still really like gold, so I would enjoy it all.
