Description
Photograph of a view of Sutter's Mill at Coloma, where Marshall discovered gold, El Dorado, ca.1930. A man stands on the ground with his hands on his hips beneath the dilapidated ruins of an elevated cabin behind him wearing a long, light-colored coat and a bowler hat. The boards of the cabin's walls are partially gone and slant both inward and to the side. A surrounding ridge of hills is visible in the background.
