"So you see that all is not Gossip about
California, after all, there is gold here in
abundance, but it requires patience & hard
labor, with some skill & experience to obtain
it. If any man has his health & will work, he
can make more than ten times as much here
as he can in the states in the same length of
time. But many, very many, that come here
meet with bad success & thousands will leave
their bones here."
-Letter from a Gold Miner, 1850
