New Old Stuff: Documenting Dreams
|  We
know Francisco Lopez made California's first "documented" gold
discovery in the southern part of the Santa Clarita Valley in 1842
because he said so in a document he filed with the government a month
later. But how do we know he napped under the Oak of the Golden Dream in
Placerita Canyon and found the gold nearby? Because of this previously
(to our knowledge) unpublished document created in 1930 by historian
A.B. Perkins when he was the local judge. In that year, Perkins had a
woman swear out an affidavit wherein she said Lopez's niece showed her
the tree and the "exact spot of the gold discovery" in 1914, when the
niece was 82. She said the niece had been shown the spot by Lopez in
1843 when she was 11. It's this document Perkins and his friends used to
persuade the state to acknowledge the Oak of the Golden Dream as the
discovery site. Take it for what it's worth. |
