The Old Chinese Bank, an Early Building of the Gold Rush Days | Additional Description:
Coloma, Calif.
Recalls the most romantic and exciting Gold Rush Period the world has ever known. The new El Dorado, where James Marshall made his world-famous gold discovery on January 24, 1848, soon brought fabulous wealth to thousands, built great cities, and contributed largely towards the saving of the Union during the Civil War.
