DRIFTERS WHO BECAME MILLIONAIRES OVERNIGHT
JAMES AND AMOS SMITH, father and son, the two men history forgot during the California Gold Rush. It was not until the summer of 2011 that the identity of these two Californians was discovered.
Their publicity is due to the ardent and proficient research of Earl R. Stonebridge, an American novelist whose curiosity about the Californa Gold Rush finally culminated in adding unique adventure to the already voliminous annals of history about the gold rush of the 1840s in and around Sutter's Mill.
