시내 한 가운데 목을 맨 실물크기의 사람모형이 있다. 금광 때문에 몰려든 사람들 때문에 범죄도 늘어나서 공개적으로 목을 매달아 사형을 집행하는 경우가 많았는데 시에서는 그것을 기념해 당시의 처형모습을 재현하여 놓았고 이제는 시의 트레이드마크가 되고 있다. 플레이서빌이라는 이름이전에는 목을 매단다는 뜻을 가진 행타운이었는데 범죄자의 목을 매달아 참나무에 걸어 놓아서 생긴 이름이라고 한다. 그 나무가 있던 자리를 행맨스 트리라고 기념하고 있다. 1936년도까지 이렇게 사형이 집행되었다. 플레이서빌에는 골드러시시대인 1852년 개장해 지금까지 계속해서 운영되고 있는 철물점이 있다. 플레이서빌 철물점이다. 지금은 포젤가에 의하여 3대째 이어져 내려오고 있다. 일반 철물점과 크게 다르지 않아 보였지만 사금을 채취할 수 있는 팬들을 볼 수 있었다. 전 같지 않은 미국경제와 치솟는 금값 때문에 계곡에서 사금을 채취하는 사람들이 늘고 있다고 한다. 금을 채취하는 기계의 종류도 다양하다. “금을 발견하면 대체로 다시 사러 옵니다. 사금을 담는 작은 통과 팬에서 사금을 좀 더 쉽게 채취하기 위한 용기 등을 사가는 것이죠. 보통 팬에서 시작해서 나중에는 금속탐지기까지 사갑니다.” 채취한 사금을 은근히 자랑하는 사람도 있었다.

The California Gold Rush (APUSH Final Project 2011)
starring: Emily, Lisa, Ariel, and Danielle
The California Gold Rush began in 1848-9 when James Marshall discovered Gold in the American River at Sutter's Mill near Columba, CA. Marshall wanted to keep it a secret in order for personal gain, but somehow the world found out and thousands of ambitious gold-seekers migrated from all around the world. Native Americans were attacked and pushed off of their land in the process

The California Gold Rush Experience: Facts, Miners, Timeline, Towns (1998)
The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. About the book:
The first to hear confirmed information about gold in California were residents of Oregon, the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), western Mexico, and Central America. They were the first to go there in late 1848. All told, the news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. Of the 300,000, approximately half arrived by sea and half came overland from the east, on the California Trail and the Gila River trail.
The gold-seekers, called forty-niners (as a reference to 1849), often faced substantial hardships on the trip. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the Gold Rush attracted tens of thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. At first, the gold nuggets could be picked up off the ground. Later, gold was recovered from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning. More sophisticated methods were developed and later adopted elsewhere. At its peak, technological advances reached a point where significant financing was required, increasing the proportion of gold companies to individual miners. Gold worth tens of billions of today's dollars was recovered, which led to great wealth for a few. However, many returned home with little more than what they had started with.
The effects of the Gold Rush were substantial. San Francisco grew from a small settlement of about 200 residents in 1846 to a boomtown of about 36,000 by 1852. Roads and other towns were built throughout California. In 1849 a state constitution was written, and a governor and legislature were chosen. California became a state as part of the Compromise of 1850.
New methods of transportation developed as steamships came into regular service. By 1869 railroads were built across the country from California to the eastern United States. Agriculture and ranching expanded throughout the state to meet the needs of the settlers. At the beginning of the Gold Rush, there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields and a system of staking claims was developed. The Gold Rush also resulted in attacks on Native Americans, who were forcibly removed from their lands. An estimated 100,000 California Indians died between 1848 and 1868, and some 4,500 of them were murdered. Gold mining also caused environmental harm to rivers and lakes.
Overnight California gained the international reputation as the golden state.[138] Generations of immigrants have been attracted by the California Dream. California farmers,[139] oil drillers,[140] movie makers,[141] airplane builders,[142] and dot-com entrepreneurs have each had their boom times in the decades after the Gold Rush.[143]
The literary history of the Gold Rush is reflected in the works of Mark Twain (The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County), Bret Harte (A Millionaire of Rough-and-Ready), Joaquin Miller (Life Amongst the Modocs), and many others.[29][144]
Included among the modern legacies of the California Gold Rush are the California state motto, Eureka (I have found it), Gold Rush images on the California State Seal,[145] and the state nickname, The Golden State, as well as place names, such as Placer County, Rough and Ready, Placerville (formerly named Dry Diggings and then Hangtown during rush time), Whiskeytown, Drytown, Angels Camp, Happy Camp, and Sawyers Bar. The San Francisco 49ers National Football League team, and the similarly named athletic teams of California State University, Long Beach, are named for the prospectors of the California Gold Rush.
In addition. the standard route shield of state highways in California is in the shape of a miner's spade to honor the California Gold Rush.[146][147] Today, aptly named State Route 49 travels through the Sierra Nevada foothills, connecting many Gold Rush-era towns such as Placerville, Auburn, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Coloma, Jackson, and Sonora.[148] This state highway also passes very near Columbia State Historic Park, a protected area encompassing the historic business district of the town of Columbia; the park has preserved many Gold Rush-era buildings, which are presently occupied by tourist-oriented businesses.
Penryn, California
Penryn is a census-designated place in Placer County, California, in the United States. Penryn is located 5 miles northeast of Rocklin. It is 1.8 square miles, all of it land. In 2010, it had a population of 831.
The story of Penryn begins in late 1864 when a Welsh immigrant by the name of Griffith Griffith established a granite quarry on quarter section of land leased from the Central Pacific Railroad.
Back home in North Wales, G. G., like his father before him, worked in the Penrhyn Slate Quarry. In Welsh, the word penrhyn translates to headland or promontory, which aptly described the seaport from which the Penrhyn Quarry took its name. When it came to naming his new enterprise, the choice was obvious, but not the spelling. To simplify things and avoid the inevitable misspellings that were likely to occur, on the evening of May 17, 1865, Griffith, after discussing the matter with Central Pacific legal counsel Edwin Bryant Crocker (known later for the Crocker Art Museum), agreed to drop the “h” from the original Welsh spelling and settled on the name, and spelling, we know today.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. The news of gold brought approximately 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. The sudden influx of gold into the money supply reinvigorated the American economy, and the sudden population increase allowed California to go rapidly to statehood, in the Compromise of 1850. The Gold Rush had severe effects on Native Californians and resulted in a precipitous population decline from disease, genocide and starvation. By the time it ended, California had gone from a thinly populated ex-Mexican territory, to having one of its first two U.S. Senators, John C. Frémont, selected to be the first presidential nominee for the new Republican Party, in 1856.
The effects of the Gold Rush were substantial. Whole indigenous societies were attacked and pushed off their lands by the gold-seekers, called forty-niners (referring to 1849, the peak year for Gold Rush immigration). Outside of California, the first to arrive were from Oregon, the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), and Latin America in late 1848. Of the approximately 300,000 people who came to California during the Gold Rush, about half arrived by sea and half came overland on the California Trail and the Gila River trail; forty-niners often faced substantial hardships on the trip. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the gold rush attracted thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and China. Agriculture and ranching expanded throughout the state to meet the needs of the settlers. San Francisco grew from a small settlement of about 200 residents in 1846 to a boomtown of about 36,000 by 1852. Roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout California. In 1849 a state constitution was written. The new constitution was adopted by referendum vote, and the future state's interim first governor and legislature were chosen. In September 1850, California became a state.
At the beginning of the Gold Rush, there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields and a system of staking claims was developed. Prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning. Although the mining caused environmental harm, more sophisticated methods of gold recovery were developed and later adopted around the world. New methods of transportation developed as steamships came into regular service. By 1869, railroads were built from California to the eastern United States. At its peak, technological advances reached a point where significant financing was required, increasing the proportion of gold companies to individual miners. Gold worth tens of billions of today's US dollars was recovered, which led to great wealth for a few, though many who participated in the California Gold Rush earned little more than they had started with.

Road Trip To Fair Oaks, CA (Thursday, October 30, 2014)
Watch in high quality (480p). It was road tripping time again! In this video, it shows us travel up north to Fair Oaks, CA, around the Sacramento County. It was my cousin Gretchen, myself, Chris and his mom that went on this trip. Me and my cousin actually were tagging along since we were helping Chris and his mom move. We had used a U-Haul. Chris and his mom, Auntie Beck, were actually moving to Fair Oaks, CA from San Jose, CA...
In summary of our long day this day: Me and my cousin Gretchen first went to Chris' old place and we helped move things out and into the U-Haul truck. Afterwards, we were on the road trip up to the Sacramento area towards Chris and his mom's new place. Their new place is located around the Fair Oaks/Citrus Heights, CA area. After the road trip, we arrived to their new place safely. The neighborhood is nice and peaceful. Then, we unpacked all their stuff from the U-Haul...quite a lot of work but it's a good workout! Then auntie treated us with dinner at Red Robin. After dinner, we went back to their place and rested a bit before heading back home to San Jose, CA during the very early morning hours. We had left the Fair Oaks area while it was still dark out, like just before 4 a.m.! We had stopped for some donuts and hot cocoa for the road. It was a long day indeed but it was fun!

Colfax, California
Colfax (formerly, Alden Grove, Alder Grove, Illinoistown, and Upper Corral) is a city in Placer County, California, at the crossroads of Interstate 80 and State Route 174. It is part of the Sacramento–Arden-Arcade–Roseville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 1,963 at the 2010 census. The town is named in honor of U.S. Vice President Schuyler Colfax (1869–73), a bronze statue of whom stands at Railroad Street and Grass Valley Street. (This is the only known statue of Schuyler Colfax in the United States). Some of the town's notable features include the newly restored Southern Pacific Railroad colonnade-style depot (which houses the Colfax Museum and Chamber of Commerce) built in 1905, the downtown shops on Main Street, and Colfax High School, which serves a large surrounding area.
Originally inhabited by the Maidu and Miwok Indians, by the mid-19th century the city site was known as Alder Grove; however, as development increased, the city became known as Illinoistown.
Later it was renamed Colfax after then Speaker of the House (and later Vice President) Schuyler Colfax who visited the town in 1865 while inspecting progress of construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, the western portion of the first transcontinental railroad. The city was the southern terminus of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad from 1876 until the railroad’s removal in 1942. Historic U.S. Route 40 also runs through the city as well as the more modern Interstate 80. The city is mentioned in Jules Verne’s book, Around the World in Eighty Days.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.4 square miles, all of it land. The 2010 United States Census reported that Colfax had a population of 1,963.
