How about telling about the Gold Rush. You could feature a few of the miners, where they came from, whether they found much gold, whether they stayed or went home again.
Btw -- two of my ancestors on different sides of the family went from Indiana and Illinois to the Gold Rush. Apparently they both found enough gold to buy farms back home.
