The caption with this photo at the Library of Congress
claims that this was Marshall in front of the mill in 1850.

On January 24, 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill on
the American River in Northern California. After James W.
Marshall, who’d been overseeing the sawmill’s construction,
found the gold nuggets he and his boss, John Sutter,
attempted to keep

the discovery a secret. However, word soon spread and by
1849 thousands of prospectors, who became known as 49ers,
were flocking to Coloma, California, site of Sutter’s Mill, and
the surrounding region, hoping to strike it rich.

SERIAL KILLER ARRESTED ON THIS DAY

On August 10, 1977, 24-year-old postal employee David Berkowitz
was arrested and charged with being the “Son of Sam,” the serial
killer who terrorized
New York City for more than a year, killing
six young people and wounding seven others with a .44-caliber
revolver. Because Berkowitz generally targeted attractive young
women with long brown hair, hundreds of young women had their
hair cut short and dyed blonde during the time he terrorized the
city. Thousands more simply stayed home at night.

After his arrest, Berkowitz claimed that demons and a black
Labrador retriever owned by a neighbor named Sam had
ordered him to commit the killings.
