In 1850, Sacramento was a city of 10,000 men with almost no women
or children, a transient population going to and from the gold
mines in the Sierra Nevada. The waterfront on the Sacramento River
was a chaotic scene of oxen and mule teams, piles of supplies on
the wharf, and abandoned ships whose crews had jumped ship for the
goldfields. The city also became a major railroad junction and
agricultural hub in the 1800s before it became the center of state
government, and much of the bustling cityas early life was captured
on picture postcards.
