Mar-shall died almost a pauper, and Sutter, who preferred to dig his gold from thé ground in the form of crops fared little better. He was virtually ousted by squatters and gold hunters. Marshall’s discovery was in Janunary, of 1848. By 1849 the country was fw of miners and a colorful and important phase of California’s history started. San Francisco boomed and became a cosmopolitan center; Sacramento, Marysville, Yuba City and. Oroville became towns of size and importance. Steamers plied the Sacramento river on their way to the gold fields; stage coaches rattled in and out of the cities. Great schemes for recovering the gold were hatched, financed and sometimes succeeded. Wealth apparently was to be plucked out of the air, so free was everyone with gold. Great, robust characters, peopled the mining centers, Bandts, parsons, gentlemen gamblers, bankers, and financiers rubbed elbows in the liyely towns while in the gulches the swarms of men dug for. gold, some coming out in a few weeks with fortunes. Violence. was frequent and justice was dispensed simply and quickly, “With death the verdict for a major crime.

Stockton was named after Captain Stockton. It was founded in 1847 by Captain Charles M. Weber, a German who received a. grant in conjunction with William Gulnac of the Camp de los Frances Rancho.
