In a popular Spanish book, a fictional island called "California" was filled with gold. Sure enough, plenty of it was discovered in the real California, in eighteen forty-eight. This started a gold rush unlike any other in American history in the Golden State.在一本流行的西班牙书籍中,一座虚构的名为"California"的岛屿遍布黄金.果然,1848年,现实存在的加利福尼亚州果然发现了大量黄金.从此,"黄金之州"(Golden State)加利福尼亚开始了美国历史上从未有过的淘金热.
