Adam Collings has a passion for California's history so much so that he has spent the past 28 years of his life researching the subject. The result, a bestselling author's latest book "California-West of the West."
Adam's presentation focused mainly on an event that overnight changed California and the world-Gold.
John Sutter had come to California seeking a new life. He established Sutters Fort at present day Sacramento. In 1845 he contracted with James Marshall to build a saw mill next to the American River at a place called Coloma. It was there Marshall discovered gold. People stampeded to the area, overran the Sutter holdings. Their collective legacy- California would go on to become the 6th largest ecomony in the world.
Adam is a local product having lived in Garden Grove in his early years and now San Clemente. He has written some 5l published or produced books to date. We were fortunate to have had the
opportunity of hearing this fascinating excerpt from his latest. Perhaps he will return for more.
