Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There are far too many events that happened during the years you've stated!. Select however many events you feel comfortable with, or assigned by your teacher, and begin studying while taking notes!.

Consider the following:
The Plains Indian Wars
The exodus of the Mormons to the Salt Lake basin!.
The Gold Rush to the Black Hills of South Dakota
The Apache Wars of the Southwest from Cochise to Geronimo!.
The transcontinental railway connection
The Donner Pass tragedy
The contributions of James Pierce Beckwourth as trapper, Army scout, and Indian chief of the Crow Nation!.

You have so many to choose from that it is impossible to list all the major events!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well I'm no historian but I'd guess you could focus on the California Gold Rush, the Nevada Silver Rush, the rise of California as a state, the rise of San Francisco as a city, the building of the transcontinental railraod!.!.!. the gold rush kind of kicked all that other stuff off!.!.!.

just read a book about that a month or two ago
