On January 24, 1848, James W. Marshall found several flakes of gold and told Sutter. The news got out and that began the transformation of the territory to a bustling center of activity.
On February 2, 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in Mexico City which transferred the American Southwest to the United States. During the next seven years, approximately 300,000 people came to California (half by land and half by sea) to seek their fortunes from either mining for gold or selling supplies like picks and shovels to the gold prospectors.
Henry Bigler and Azariah Smith, wrote about their experience in their respective recollection or diary. Like several other people working at the mill, these two workers were discharged veterans of the Mormon Battalion. After this discovery at the mill, the "gold rush" era began and many people came from the east to find fortune. The era helped to transform people like Levi Strauss and Luzena Wilson.
Dan wrote this song on his 33rd birthday in Maine, Happy Birthday Dan!
"Movie time again. Strange how most of my Maine songs have been written in Colorado and some of my most western pieces (like this one) were written in Maine. I wrote this on my birthday, 1984. It's not completely historically accurate but I plead poetic license." (Dan Fogelberg)

Sutter’s Mill Lyrics
https://genius.com
/Dan-fogelberg-sutters-mill-lyrics
In the Spring of Forty-seven
So the story, it is told
Old John Sutter went to the mill site
Found a piece of shining gold
Well, he took it to the city
Where the word, like wildfire, spread
And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd
Left that stone in the river bed
For they came like herds of locusts
Every woman, child and man
In their lumbering Conestogas
They left their tracks upon the land
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Well, they came from New York City
And they came from Alabam'
With their dreams of finding fortunes
In this wild unsettled land
Well, some fell prey to hostile ar...

Sutter's Mill ~ Dan Fogelberg (Lyrics)
In the spring of Forty-seven so the story it is told
Old John Sutter went to the mill site and found a piece of shining gold
Well, he took it to the city where the word like wildfire spread
And old John Sutter soon came to wish hed left that stone in the river bed
For they came like herds of locusts...every woman, child and man
In their lumbering Conestogas they left their tracks upon the land
(Chorus)
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutters mill
Well, they came from New York City and they came from Alabam
With their dreams of finding fortunes in this wild, unsettled land
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows as they tried to cross the plains
And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains with their hands froze to the reins
(Chorus)
Well, some pushed on to California and others stopped to take their rest
And by the spring of Eighteen-sixty they had opened up the West
And then the railroad came behind them and the land was plowed and tamed
When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker, hed not one penny to his name
(Chorus)
And some would curse John Sutters Mill
Some mens thirsts are never filled

On January 24, 1848, James W. Marshall found several flakes of gold and told Sutter. The news got out and that began the transformation of the territory to a bustling center of activity.
On February 2, 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in Mexico City which transferred the American Southwest to the United States. During the next seven years, approximately 300,000 people came to California (half by land and half by sea) to seek their fortunes from either mining for gold or selling supplies like picks and shovels to the gold prospectors.
Henry Bigler and Azariah Smith, wrote about their experience in their respective recollection or diary. Like several other people working at the mill, these two workers were discharged veterans of the Mormon Battalion. After this discovery at the mill, the "gold rush" era began and many people came from the east to find fortune. The era helped to transform people like Levi Strauss and Luzena Wilson.

Ah, but — and you should remember this for “Jeopardy!” — the Golden State’s first documented gold strike happened here, in Newhall, in 1842, six years before gold gleamed in the hurrying waters of Sutter’s Mill.
A faulty electrical outlet is believed to have ignited a fire Friday in a Poway duplex attic that caused no injuries but displaced eight members of two families and a pet lizard ... Friday to a blaze at 14209 Sutter Mill Way.
They look like monster snake holes ...Wanna sell mine too?’” he said ... The discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 is one of the defining moments in California history, with roughly 300,000 forty-niners flocking here to make their fortune from the U.S.
... shipping and banking services to the hundreds of thousands of people who rushed to California after gold was discovered four years earlier at Sutter's Mill in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
... tank armor and overpowering tank guns, how can anyone know when a new computer chip or a new algorithm will permit faster bitcoin mining? Discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in California drove U.S.
Sutter initially objected to the last requirement, saying there was “a significant rumor mill” around McCormick Place and he didn’t the news about his client “to be blasted all ...
'There's gold here ... This is not the first time gold was discovered in the small town, as the chemical element was found at Sutter's Mill in 1848, leading approximately 33,000 gold-seekers or forty-niners to flock over to get their hands on a fortune ... .
... “Oak of the Golden Dream” site of California’s original gold discovery in 1842 (before the precious metal was discovered in January 1848 at Sutter’s Mill), and a landmark cabin, among other things.
Something about the heavy, shiny metal has always attracted mankind ... In 1848, the motherlode of all locations was discovered near Sutter's Mill, Calif ... and following the Oregon Trail ... At home, he purchased property and established a large farm and mill.
