Great  page with excellent information! This will set the standard for all 
subsequent falls.

One glaring error that needs to be corrected however:   "They landed in a 
wide area that includes Sutter's Mill, where the first gold was discovered 
by James Marshall in January of 1848. That discovery led to the worlds 
largest migration in history, known as the California Gold Rush."

NOT!

300,000 miners made up the Gold Rush.

The world's largest historical migration was the  movement of tens of 
millions of Chinese from rural areas to the cities. After WWII, tens of 
millions of Europeans migrated (16.5 million Germans migrated from Eastern 
Europe to Western Europe,) the Russian Civil War caused millions to migrate. 
Millions of slaves in America migrated from the South to the North. Millions 
migrated during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of 
Pakistan. Nearly half a million Jews migrated to the former Palestine.
Sorry for the OT rant, but if you're going to talk about history, get the 
facts straight!

Howabout that four-year old girl that found a meteorite?
