On January 24, 1848, James Wilson Marshall, a carpenter originally from New Jersey, found flakes of gold in the American River at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Coloma, California. Sparking what we now know as the great American Gold Rush. Meanwhile an American Genocide played out in the background. Attempts to hide, and change what happened in the early days of America have been made into actual historical truths. In this episode we take a look at the other side of the gold coin, the Native side, and, it just may change the way you see the gold rush from here on out.
