在加州发现黄金
1848年1月24日
另一个建造工人詹姆士．布朗 (James
S. Brown) 听到马歇尔喊着：「男孩们，我查找她了。」布朗赶紧跑到马歇尔的身旁，看着他抓在手上的帽子。帽子里头大约有10到12颗大小不等的金子。
在他们发现金子之前，人们总以为加州有金矿的说法是假的，所以一直到1848年12月波尔克总统支持开挖计画后，真正的「淘金热」才开始。
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.
