buugaag noocee ah ayaa la heli karaa si loo fahmo California kahor dahabka dahabka ee 1849?
"Laba sano ka hor intaan la gaarin xilligii dahabka, " oo uu qoray Richard Henry Dana, kaasi oo ka soo baxay Harvard Law School, kuna saxiixay dalxiis markab ganacsi oo ka soo degay Boston, 1834 Buuggu wuxuu qeexayaa safarka hareeraha Cape Horn ee khiyaanada leh oo uu hogaaminayo kabtan adag oo wadista ah oo muujinaya qoomamo yar ama tixgelin shaqaalihiisa maadaama markabku uu ku hoos jiro cape-ka isgoyska badweynta Atlantik iyo Baasifigga. Aqoonta aad u leedahay Axab ee Melville's Moby Dick ma caawin karto laakiin waxay ku caawin kartaa sawirkaaga maskaxeed ee kabtankan.  Markabku wuxuu kor u kacayaa xeebta, isaga oo dhaafaya wadamada cusub ee madaxbannaan ee Koonfurta iyo Bartamaha Ameerika, ilaa waqooyiga Mexico, oo ah aag la yiraahdo Alta California. Markabka ayaa ku safraya xeebta, markabku wuxuu la ganacsadaa Isbaanishka iyo dadka asaliga ah ee degsiimooyinka yaryar iyo howlgallada la yiraahdo San Diego, San Pedro, San Juan, Nuestra Señora La Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula, Santa Barbara, Monterey iyo waqooyiga San Francisco Bay.  Sharaxaada faahfaahsan ee Dana ee dekedaha dabiiciga ah iyo degsiimooyinka yaryar iyo howlgallada ayaa si hodan ah loo sharraxay waxayna si aad ah uga duwan yihiin California aan maanta aragno. Mid ka mid ah ayaa ku hadhay aragtida gaarka ah ee fogaanshaha California ee kuwa ka safraya xeebta bari ee Waqooyiga Ameerika ama Yurub.  Shaqaaluhu waxay ku ganacsadeen harag iyo subag, wax aan la rumaysan karin kuwa akhrinaya waqtiyadii casriga ahaa, kuwaasoo tixgelinaya masaafada safarka iyo qadiimada xamuulka. Badeecadaha ganacsiga waxay u muuqdaan kuwo aad u qadiim ah marka la tixgelinayo isbedelka aagga oo dhan uu ku dhici doono 1848 ee Sutter's Mill.
