在加州發現黃金
1848年1月24日
另一個建造工人詹姆士‧布朗 (James
S. Brown) 聽到馬歇爾喊著：「男孩們，我找到她了。」布朗趕緊跑到馬歇爾的身旁，看著他抓在手上的帽子。帽子裡頭大約有10到12顆大小不等的金子。
在他們發現金子之前，人們總以為加州有金礦的說法是假的，所以一直到1848年12月波爾克總統支持開挖計畫後，真正的「淘金熱」才開始。
Another builder, James S. Brown, heard Marshall say, "Boys, I have got her now." Brown stepped over to Marshall, who held his hat in his hand. There in the hat were 10 or 12 pieces of gold.
People had made false claims before that they had discovered gold, so it wasn't until December of 1848, when President James Polk backed up the discovery, that the Gold Rush began.
