Description

Photograph of a monument in Coloma depicting James Marshall, who discovered gold in the area, ca.1930. A statue of a man pointing into the distance is pictured at center on top of a large pedestal. Below, metal rails surround this pedestal, and appear to be on a grassy knoll in a park area of some kind. The bronze statue was erected in 1890 and is supposed to point to the spot where Marshall found gold. Marshall died on August 10, 1885.
