Then Marshall dipped it in vinegar, The acid made no impression on its color. So he shipped it to a mining expert. The expert reported the nugget as pure gold. A local news- paper chanced to mention the fact. Other papers copied the tidings. And all @t once the whole country knew that gold had been discovered in Call- fornia. Then began a Westward rush that has ne’ been equalled by any pub- Ne stampede before or since. The nation—the world at large—went gold crasy. Not only from all parts of America but from Europe too men flocked by the hundred thousand toward California, Old men who were too feeble to walk a mile, boys etill in their early teens, men from all branches of life—the gold hunters dropped everything and joined in the treasure scramble, leaving home and work and family. The plains were streaked with whi migrant trains and with the whiter bones of dead men and cattle. The emigrants sickened, starved, were killed by Indians, were murdered or robbed by their fellows, They died by thousands. Reporte of failures on the part of earlier arrivals flew Eastward. But none of those things slackened the mad rush. California was overrun by gold-seekers. Some “struck it rich,” more failed or died. ~The majority were worse off than if. Mar- shall had never found gold in the Coloma milirace, Soon set in the era of peril, crime, violence, crass ‘fawleasness, that Bret Harte and lesser writers have loved to depict—-an era of hideous confusion out of which California was one day to rise triumphant, ™ > As for Marshall, the man responsible for it all, he died in abject pov- erty.
