Hi all, Just read this in Ancestry's "Daily News": Enjoy! Pam [email protected] Pamela Storm Wolfskill ---------------------- HISTORY ON TV IN OCTOBER <snip> "THE GOLD RUSH" 9 October 1998 on PBS http://www.pbs.org/goldrush/ "January 1998 mark(ed) the 150th anniversary of an accidental discovery that led to one of the greatest quests in American history - the California gold rush. This one-hour special chronicles the story of the "forty-niners"; the women who made large incomes cooking and washing clothes; and the ambitious risk-takers who went on to become some of America's best-known and most successful entrepreneurs: Levi-Strauss, Studebaker, Armour Meats and Wells Fargo Bank, all of whom can trace their roots to the California gold rush." Are you a descendent of a Gold Rush pioneer? If so, PBS is collecting stories for a new project titled "Gold Rush Legacies." Visit the program's web page for more information. <snip>
