| | James Marshall: California's Gold Discoverer |
| | Born on October 8, 1810, in New Jersey, where his great-grandfather had served as a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the young Marshall received an adequate education for that era. | | | Hoping to get on with his life under better circumstances, young James headed west, drifting into the Ohio Valley during the 1830s and for a while settling in Missouri. | | | Marshall convinced Sutter that a partnership in a sawmill in the Sierra Nevada foothills would be a profitable venture, and he set out to find a suitable location. |

| | Born in Lambertsville, New Jersey, on October 8 of 1810, James Marshall left home for good at the young age of twenty-four. | | | In 1872 the State Legislature passed a bill which awarded Marshall a pension, good for two years, in honor of his important role in California history. | | | The pension was renewed twice but was allowed to lapse in 1878, to which Marshall himself may be partly to blame. |

| | Marshall was born in 1810 in New Jersey and took up his father's trade as a skilled carpenter and wheelwright. | | | After several unhealthy and unsuccessful years of famine, Marshall decided in 1844 to join a wagon train headed to California. | | | Marshall was unsuccessful in securing legal or practical recognition of his own claims in the gold fields, and his sawmill quickly failed when all able-bodied men in the area turned all their efforts to the search for gold. |
