Description: The American GOLD RUSH (Own Part of the US GOLD History)California goldfields in the Sierra Nevada and northern California The Gold Rush started at Sutter's Mill, near "Coloma", California. On January 24, 1848 James W. Marshall, a foreman working for Sacramentopioneer John Sutter, found pieces of shiny metal in the tailrace of a lumber mill Marshall was building for Sutter, along the American River.[Marshall quietly brought what he found to Sutter, and the two of them privately tested the findings. The tests showed Marshall's particles to be gold. Sutter was dismayed by this, and wanted to keep the news quiet because he feared what would happen to his plans for an agricultural empire if there were a mass search for gold. However, rumors soon started to spread and were confirmed in March 1848 by San Francisconewspaper publisher and merchant Samuel Brannan. The most famous quote of the California Gold Rush was by Brannan; after he had hurriedly set up a store to sell gold prospecting supplies,[6] Brannan strode through the streets of San Francisco, holding aloft a vial of gold, shouting "Gold! Gold! Gold from the American River!" With the news of gold, Families trying their luck at agriculture in California decided to go for the gold, becoming California’s first pioneer miners. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THIS AUCTION IS FOR (ONE) RARE NICE UNIQUE TOTAL Historic 16.4g California Coloma GOLD & Crystallize Silver Nugget Oasis (SERIOUS COLLECTOR's Item: Own Part of the US GOLD History) (THIS IS NOT A SMALL TINY GOLD FLAKE(s) or TINY NUGGET(s) or Foreign Gold sold in Ebay) Up for sale is <<
