    This text is based on the following book(s):
    34-2731. Selected from the collections of the Library of Congress. Copyright status not determined.

    James Stephens Brown (b. 1828) was one of James W. Marshall's companions on January 24, 1848, when Marshall discovered gold in the raceway of a mill his workmen were constructing for Johann Sutter at Coloma. Brown later settled in Utah. California gold (1894) is here reprinted from a version published in the Magazine of history in 1933. Brown recounts his association with Sutter and Marshall as well as the events of January 24, 1848.
