Great page with excellent information! This will set the standard for all
subsequent falls.

One glaring error that needs to be corrected however: "They landed in a
wide area that includes Sutter's Mill, where the first gold was discovered
by James Marshall in January of 1848. That discovery led to the worlds
largest migration in history, known as the California Gold Rush."

NOT!

300,000 miners made up the Gold Rush.

The world's largest historical migration was the movement of tens of
millions of Chinese from rural areas to the cities. After WWII, tens of
millions of Europeans migrated (16.5 million Germans migrated from Eastern
Europe to Western Europe,) the Russian Civil War caused millions to migrate.
Millions of slaves in America migrated from the South to the North. Millions
migrated during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of
Pakistan. Nearly half a million Jews migrated to the former Palestine.
Sorry for the OT rant, but if you're going to talk about history, get the
facts straight!

Howabout that four-year old girl that found a meteorite?
