Sherman, of later Civil War fame, drew the map when he was adjutant to U.S. Military Gov. Mason. A most desirable Gold Rush map.

(California Gold Rush) Sutter's Mill, 1851. Marshall's Discovery of Gold, California, January 19th, 1848. Copyrighted 1876, by A. Roman.

(California Gold Rush) Sutter's Mill, 1851. Marshall's Discovery of Gold, California, January 19th, 1848. Copyrighted 1876, by A. Roman.

This is a mounted albumen photograph of Sutter’s Mill, 1851, published in 1876 by A. Roman. The photograph reproduces a painting by Charles Christian Nahl (1818–1878), a prominent German-American artist known for his depictions of California’s Gold Rush era. The scene presents a reconstructed view of the mill along the American River, where James W. Marshall discovered gold on January 19, 1848, an event that triggered the California Gold Rush. The mill structure is prominently centered, with figures engaged in activities that evoke the early days of gold discovery. The surrounding landscape, rendered in Nahl’s detailed style, includes scattered buildings and rolling hills that contextualize the site within the broader Gold Rush setting.
