Summary[edit]
DescriptionWilliam McPherson Hill, portrait.jpg |
English: "Upon news of the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in California, William McPherson Hill, founder and namesake of Old Hill Ranch, set sail on a seven-month voyage from Philadelphia to stake his claim in the soon-to-be-formed state. Hill arrived in San Francisco on August 3rd, 1849. San Francisco’s population was increasing at the astronomical rate of 25% per month, and Hill recognized that much greater profits—with far less labor—were to be found in supplying the necessities of the miners than actually mining; good libations were in short supply, so he started a mercantile company." |
