Speculation definition from google: "guess: a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence."

Basically draw a conclusion on the entire event from what you already know. For example, write about maybe the importance of it or things they should have done to make it more spectacular.

This will help:

The Wiki' piece on the Gold Rush that several people gave a link to is quite good...

I think that more money changed hands in businesses that supported or supplied the miners than the miners created from gold.

My understanding is that a very few miners hit it big.
