Talk:No Gold Rush

It's a fairly big leap for California not to be colonized _at_all_. For that matter, _why_didn't_ the Gold Rush happen? There would have to have been no Alaskan Gold Rush, either, because that would've caused tremendous growth in California, Oregon and Washington, and it wouldn't have been "forgotten." I think if you laid out the steps that lead up to there being no gold rush would help make this a more believable ATL. Louisiannan 13:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
