The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His discovery was the impetus for the California gold rush.
- The mill property was owned by Johann Sutter who employed Marshall to build his mill.
- The wave of gold seekers turned everyone's attention away from the mill which eventually fell into disrepair and was never used as intended.
