Fuadar Óir Chalifornia
Thosaigh Fuadar Óir Chalifornia ar an 24 Eanáir, 1848 le fionnachtain óir ag Muileann Sutter (Béarla: Sutter's Mills) i gColoma, California. Scaip an nuacht chuig gach cearn den tír agus thar sáile, agus mheall an scéal 300,000 duine go California ón chuid eile de SAM agus thar lear.

Forbhreathnú 

Chuireadh tús leis an bhFuadar Óir ag Muileann Sutter, gearr do Choloma. D'aimsigh James W. Marshall píosaí óir agus é i mbun oibre mar shaoiste, ag tógáil muileann sábhadóireachta, a obair don téisclimí John Sutter. Chonaic Marshall giotaí den mhiotail ag soilsiú ar bhruach Abhainn Mheiriceánach.

Gan a mhór a dhéanamh de, chuir Marshall  agus Sutter na píosaí mhiotail faoi thriail, go príobháideach. Dearbhaíodh gur ór a bhí faighte acu.  Cheap Sutter go mbeadh na sluaite ann ar thóir an óir agus ar an drochuair bhí an ceart aige. 

Gan mórán moille, spréigh ráflaí amach faoin scéal. Dearbhaíodh scéal a d'fhoilsigh Samuel Brennan faoi, foilsitheoir nuachtáin i San Francisco, i Mí Márta 1848.
