The pictures came out all black. Margaret solved this problem by bringing along a new style of flare (which produces white light) and having assistants hold them to light her scenes. Her abilities resulted in some of the best steel factory pictures of that era, and these earned her national attention."

Why was the Great Chicago Fire so disastrous? After all, Chicago had fire departments and fire alarms. One reason for the terrible fire is that the alarm malfunctioned.

What is a historical text?

In 1848, James Marshall and John Sutter were building a sawmill when they discovered gold in California. Although they made their workers promise to keep the gold a secret, word quickly spread. Soon thousands of people came from across the world in hopes of becoming rich. Everyone from clerks to cooks left their jobs. This time became known as the California Gold Rush.

Mining for gold wasn't the only way to make a fortune, though. When the miners arrived, they had to stay somewhere. They had to stock up on food. They had to buy tools to help them mine. Smart merchants started businesses to give the miners what they needed—at a cost.

Store owners charged high prices for everything. The pans miners needed to search for gold cost twenty cents in 1848, but soon the price rose to eight dollars each. A single egg started at one dollar, but rose to three dollars. Most miners only found $10 to $15 of gold a day. When gold became more and more scarce, many miners went home even poorer than when they had arrived.

During the Gold Rush, how were a pan and an egg alike?
