Wild West Tech - Gold Rush Tech (History Channel)

The price was terrific on this brand-new DVD. These Wild West Tech shows are all interesting, and this one told about different mining methods in the old days. I would recommend this seller to anyone.

I got this to show students studying Colorado's gold rush. Even though it was mostly about California, the information was really interesting and relevant to Colorado.

Interesting history of the technology used to extract the gold

New addition to the library.

Good video.

Everything you wanted to know about the technology used during the gold rush is in this episode of Wid West Tech, or at least as much information can fit into a 50 minute show. You learn how the miners looked for gold in the mountains using picks and dynamite or in the water using sifting pans. This show doesn't get boring and it's informative and I would recommend it to anyone who as an interest in the wild west.
