Key takeaway El descubrimiento se produjo en el invierno de 1848, cuando Marshall encontró pepitas brillantes junto a un río.
Un carpintero llamado James Marshall hizo un descubrimiento significativo mientras trabajaba en un aserradero. Estaba construyendo el aserradero en los terrenos de un latifundista llamado John Sutter. El descubrimiento se produjo en el invierno de 1848, cuando Marshall encontró pepitas brillantes junto a un río.
Resultó que esas pepitas eran de oro. Se sabe que el aserradero se estaba construyendo en una zona llamada California mexicana. El río donde se encontraron las pepitas de oro es el río American.
