在加州發現黃金
1848124

許多住在加州的人都認為那裡有金子,但是一直到1848124日,詹姆士‧馬歇爾 (James W. Marshall) 在靠近加州克洛瑪地區的蘇特溪 (Sutter Creek) 裡看到一些發亮的東西。他在監督美國河 (American River) 上鋸木廠建造時,無意間發現了金子。


Many people in California figured gold was there, but it was James W. Marshall on January 24, 1848, who saw something shiny in Sutter Creek near Coloma, California. He had discovered gold unexpectedly while overseeing construction of a sawmill on the American River.
