History's first draft, sketched by hand ✍️
These rare works by Dr. Charles B. Gillespie show a portrait of the "Discoverer of Gold" James W. Marshall and Sutter’s Mill, where the discovery took place. Drawn from life in 1849, they depict the very start of the California Gold Rush, making them some of the earliest visual records of the moment everything changed.
They are a small example of the historical and impactful items that will live in the Rees-Jones Library of the American West at Southern Methodist University.
