The discovery of gold made California a turbulent and volatile state during the first decades of statehood.

Very rarely did it appear in the old book catalogues. Students are indebted to the enterprise of Mr. Douglas of the Geographic Board of Canada for its reissue. It is to be regretted that of the four cuts only one has been repro­ duced. The pagination of the original edition has been preserved through about three-quarters of the volume.

The publication in book form of Lorenzo Sawyer's Way Sketches is a welcome addition to the literature of the West. The position and importance of this narrative is indicated by the following annotation drawn from Mr. H. R. Wagner's The Plains and the Rockies, page 96: "These sketches appeared in the Family Visitor of Cleveland, probably copied from the Ohio Statesman, during the fall of 1850 and the wintel of 1850-51. They were written by Lorenzo Sawyer, afterward Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California, in the form of a day by day journal and form one of the most readable of all the overland narratives of gold rush days that I have read."

  • The Truth Behind California's Gold Rush
    A Golden Myth: The Truth Behind California's Gold Rush Eric Rapps McGill University 2 The California Gold Rush of 1848 was one of the most transformational events in American history. In terms of America’s demographics, California became one of the most attractive destinations for Chinese, French, and Latin American immigrants, in addition to the 250,000 American migrants who moved there in search of gold.1 The abundance of gold in California and the economic contribution that gold mining made to the American economy in the second half of the nineteenth century were the main reasons why California earned statehood after only three years as a territory.2 From a social history perspective, Californians developed an identity based on materialism because their sole motivation for moving out west had been to get rich off of gold—the ultimate symbol of wealth.3 However, popular romanticism of the Gold Rush overlooks the environmental impacts of the event. Not only did the hydraulic mining associated with the Gold Rush destroy some of California’s most important water sources, but the mining and dredging that went along with it led to the deforestation of significant portions of California’s landscape as well. While it seemed that America’s major corporations at the time were willing to sacrifice the environment for financial gain, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company played an important role in promoting environmental regulations. It was largely thanks to their activism that the federal government adopted legislation to preserve sites like Yosemite, Sequoia, and the Sierra National Forest, which successfully prevented mining companies from further damaging California’s landscape.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kate Girotti Director of Sales & Marketing Oracle Arena & O.co Coliseum Phone: 510-383-4930 Email: [email protected] www.oraclearena.com Facebook.com/OracleArenaO.coColiseum Twitter.com/OracleArena Iggy Azalea The Great Escape Tour Rescheduled Oracle Arena show will take place September 24th, 2015 (March 10, 2015) – Tour dates for Grammy-nominated Iggy Azalea’s The Great Escape Tour, have been rescheduled due to tour production delays. To accommodate for creative team availability and tour production plans, it was determined that the tour will not be ready this Spring. It is extremely important to Iggy that she delivers the show she envisaged to share with her fans and that requires more time in development. Instead, The Great Escape Tour performance originally scheduled to play at Oracle Arena on April 17th has been rescheduled to Thursday, September 24th. Tickets for the originally scheduled show date of April 17th will be honored at the September 24th event. Opening acts for the rescheduled tour will be announced shortly, replacing previously announced special guest Nick Jonas and support act Tinashé. About Iggy Azalea After years of honing her signature style on hip-hop’s underground circuit, Iggy Azalea burst onto the charts with her critically acclaimed debut album, The New Classic, and emerged as the breakout story of 2014, with one of the year’s most-streamed albums globally. Iggy is the first international female rapper to reach number one on both the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap Album Charts, and was nominated for four prestigious 2015 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Fancy” featuring Charlie XCX.

Hopkins is an important opportunity to recognize the pervasive role of law in oppressive treatment of Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is also a good opportunity for the Supreme Court to reflect onfour important lessons gleaned from Yick Wo. First, the Court should never lend justification to the evil of class discrimination, even if it has to decline to rule in a case. Second, where there is persistent discrimination against a minority group, the Court must be similarly persistent in fighting it.

By “champagne spillin’, you should taste that”, I-G-G-Y launched herself at the global consciousness. “Fancy” was the soundtrack of 2014, played on radio stations, at summer camps, pool parties and infinite road trips. It also became Azalea’s most successful single to date, earning her the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The same week, her collaboration with Ariana Grande, “Problem”, sat pretty at No. 2. Up to that point, only one other act had reached one and two simultaneously with their debut Hot 100 entries: The Beatles. If sharing such a feat with The Beatles wasn’t time. Then again, if every successful rap artist enough, Azalea became the first female rapper needed a hard-knock narrative, Kanye West with roots outside the United States – she’s would not be one of the best-selling artists of Australian – to dominate the Billboard Top all time and Drake’s “started from the bottom” R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
