El Dorado County
Coloma State Historic Park Where James Marshall discovered gold in 1848







	"The blacksmith dropped his hammer, the carpenter his plane, the mason his trowel, the farmer his sickle, the baker his loaf, and the tapster his bottle. All were off for the mines, some on horses, some on carts, and some on crutches, and one went in a litter."
	Walter Colton, alcalde of Monterey (1848)
