The Forty-Niners were gold miners in California during the Gold Rush. Many of them had traveled a long way from across the country with the hope of becoming rich. However, they instead had a very hard time and almost none, if any, made a fortune by mining gold. Instead, the people who got rich were the ones who sold the gold miners their equipment (IE, denim jeans, etc).
