Customer Feedback Dave Moore Nature Area General Information Location: The site is located approximately 2 miles west of the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park at Coloma on Highway 49 in El Dorado County, California, along the scenic and popular South Fork American River. (Need a map? Click here.) Description: One of the main features of the Dave Moore Nature Area is a loop trail about a mile long which goes from the parking lot trail head to the South Fork American River and back again passing through several habitat types. Nestled in the heart of Gold Rush Country, the trail is lined with remnants from nearly 150 years ago when Chinese laborers channeled creek water by hand with pick and shovel for gold mining. Tailing piles from the Gold Rush period blanket the area which lend to the characteristic landscape that makes this area so unique. About half of the trail is constructed to be fully accessible to people with wheelchairs, walkers and strollers. David Moore was born June 4, 1949 in Memphis, Tennessee and died August 13, 2001 in Calistoga, California. He graduated from Calistoga High School in 1967. After graduation, he entered the Navy and served for a term of four years, then attended Humboldt State University where he graduated in 1975. For the next ten years, Moore was employed by the Bureau of Land Management as a Conservation Ranger. He was stricken with multiple sclerosis at age 35 and forced to retire in 1987. Moore was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish, whitewater raft, and golf. His disability brought to his co-workers such an awareness of the struggle faced by disabled persons that they developed a nature area for the physically challenged along the South Fork of the American River near Coloma, California. On June 4, 1994, National Trails Day and Moore´s 46th birthday, the staff of the Folsom Field Office held a grand opening of the Nature Area, and dedicated it as the Dave Moore Nature Area.

Events Exhibits Newsletter Valdez Information ... Links What was the Gold Rush? Where was the Gold Rush? There have been many gold rushes in the history of the United States. The two most famous are the 1849 in California and the Klondike Stampede in the the late 1890s in Alaska and the Yukon Territory of Canada. The gold rush that affected Valdez and the Prince William Sound Region was the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897. It began when the ships Excelsior and Portland reached their "lower 48" ports in July 1897, laden with gold. The stories spread like wildfire and people rushed to find riches beyond imagination. An All American route to the gold fields was desired. Valdez and a route over the Valdez Glacier were marketed by steamship companies as the "All American" route to the Klondike. Thus began Valdez's history as a transportation hub for interior Alaska. Unfortunately for many, by the time they reached the Klondike all the claims had been staked and they were forced to look elsewhere. Others decided not to attempt the arduous journey from the coast to the Interior and elected to find their fortunes closer to their ports of entry. This is the way many of the gold and copper mines in the Prince William Sound Region were found. Once a miner landed in Valdez, they had to pack their 1500 pounds of gear to the foot of Valdez Glacier to begin their ascent. The Glacier rose approximately 4,800 feet and it was a twenty mile hike to the top. Miners were victims of storms, avalanches, crevasses; all which claimed some of the intrepid souls. Provisions had to be packed up the Glacier in stages. The miners had arrived in Valdez only to find their trips had only really just begun. Some chose not to go further and either stayed in the Prince William Sound Region or returned home.

ELDORADO: The California Gold Rush, 1848-1852 read more reviews NEW YORK TIMES Review: No event of the 19th century West, excepting only the Civil War, galvanized the American public more than the California gold rush. In a five-year period (1848-1852), tens of thousands of hopeful argonauts made their way to the vast territory conquered in the U.S.-Mexican War where gold had been found in the sands of the Sacramento River. The Americans made their way to Eldorado by various routes, all of them arduous and dangerous: overland across the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, or across Southwestern desert country, even across northern Mexico; across the Isthmus of Panama a deadly, fever-ridden route thence to the California coast by sailing ship; or the grueling six-month voyage around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America to San Francisco, gateway to the goldfields. The gold rush attracted not only Americans, but a polyglot throng from Mexico, South America, Europe, China, Australia, Hawaii and South Sea islands an army of Forty-niners having in common a dream not ony of the pot of gold at rainbow's end but of bettering their lives

'American Dream' Built On Blocks Of Gold COLLEGE STATION - Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but it's gold that gave rise to the "American dream" - that basic idea that sudden wealth is within everyone's grasp. "The gold rush forever changed the American notion of success, helping to define the American dream that still pervades the culture today," Brands says. It was a time in which the bonds between morality and success dissolved, he adds. Brands, a critically acclaimed author, examines the impact of this pivotal period in his most recent book, "The Age of Gold" (Doubleday). The notion of striking it rich, Brands explains, transformed the traditional Puritan ethic of hard work and gradual accumulation of property. Before the gold rush, most Americans subscribed to the view that with good character and hard work a modest amount of success could be achieved throughout the course of a lifetime, he notes. More importantly, if such an outcome wasn't achieved, it was a mark of poor character, a judgment of morality, Brands says. The gold rush introduced luck into the equation for success, and it encouraged risk taking - something previously discouraged because risks could mean failure and failure was equated with not being a good person, he notes.

The Miners frenzy seized my soul... piles of gold rose up before me...castles of marble...thousands of slaves bowing to my beck and call. In short I had a very violent attack of goldfever." J.H. Carson, miner. "Gold fever" gripped the United States and the world in 1848 as opportunity in the West once again called men to discovery. The rush started on the land of John Sutter, along the American River in California. Sutter employed a man named James Marshall In 1848, President James K. Polk supported rumors of gold in California in an address to congress by stating that officials of the government had verified its existence. By 1849, there was a mad rush to California. These gold seekers, who were generally young, single men, became known as forty-niners. People traveled by land and sea to reach California. A sea voyage from the eastern United States around Cape Horn to the west was approximately 15,000-17,000 miles and took six months. Some travelers sailed to Panama, crossed the isthmus on land and then sailed on to San Fransisco, a shorter but more disease-ridden route. Those who chose the overland route followed the Oregon Trail until it crossed the California Trail on the Western side of the Rocky Mountains. Many travelers discovered that by lightening their wagon load they could improve their speed. Soon trails were littered with possessions that caused the trail to resemble a junkyard.

93. The History Of The Gold Rush http://www.ghosttowngallery.com/htme/history.htm

The California Gold Rush Before 1848 Mexico ruled over California, a remote region isolated from the rest of the world by 1,800 miles of desert and impassible mountains. By sea it was 18,000 miles via Cape Horn. In the coastal regions settled Spaniards and Mexicans. The inland area was the domain of Indians and a few settlers who had been granted estates by the Mexican government. Among those settlers was Captain John Sutter, a Swiss, who had been fortunate enough to obtain a full 11 leagues of land (spanning 60 miles in lenght) in the Sacramento valley from Governor Alvarado of Mexico. Sutter began to build a fort, which was a stopping place and home for many foreigners and Americans who traveled to California. He was engaged in a varity of projects, including his cattle ranch, fur trade and trapping and the construction of an irrigation system. With the influx of immigrants over the years the communitiy around the fort grew rapidly. Lumber was much in demand and Captains Sutter agreed to supply the necessary capital for a communitiysawmill. The site chosen was some 45 miles northeast of the fort, located on the south fork of the American River in the town of Coloma. During the course of construction Sutter's carpenter, James Marshall, discovered a problem with tailrace on the mill. It was early in the morning of January 24, 1848 while checking the tailrace that Marshall noticed an object shining in a foot of ater at the bottom of a ditch. He reached down and picked it up, and his heart began to thump wildly as he realized he was holding a gold nugget.

Few words in the English language create the fervor that the cry of "Gold" does in man. A driving force in the colonization of America, gold was the primary reason for Hernando De Soto to visit the North Georgia region in the early 1540's. Indians along the Chattahoochee River north of Atlanta routinely panned for gold and found significant amounts of the material. Spanish miners joined them and formed minor settlements that operated almost continuously until the early 1700's. Much has been written as to who discovered gold in Georgia and when. Mines operated illegally in Cherokee Territory for years, but the first contemporary reference to a gold mining operation in the state points to present-day White County (then Habersham County) in 1829. By then at least two mines had been constructed in the Nacoochee Valley and there are indications are they were in operation in late 1828. Most modern historians and the state of Georgia discount the story of Benjamin Parks discovering gold at Licklog ( Dahlonega After the Spanish were forced from Georgia, interest in gold died for a number of years, but mining continued off and on throughout 18th century and into the 19th century. As early as 1819 there is evidence that gold was being mined by whites near the Cherokee town of Sixes. Although people knew of the gold, Frank Logan "discovered" it in
