  Mining Gold at Coloma

  Visual Materials

  A hand-colored daguerreotype from approximately 1850 to 1851 captured a group of miners excavating gold in Coloma, California, near Sutter's Mill. The center figure in the photograph has been noted as Martin Joseph Allhoff, Sr. (1827-1867), a Prussian immigrant who traveled to California during the Gold Rush. Allhoff later settled in Coloma and established a commercial winery at Granite Hill prior to his death. To the left and right of Allhoff in the image are men holding wood handled tools, a sluice appears behind them, and two men are kneeling in the foreground. The person sitting to the right in the foreground is holding a pan with tinted gold. Also pictured to the right are possibly four to five Chinese miners. Both front and back embossed covers retain parts of the original clasps, but there are no longer hinges attached to the case. The interior of the case contains a note adhered to the red fabric lining. It reads, "'Mining Gold at Coloma' Sutters Mill California about 1850-'51. The center figure-with shovel is Martin Allhoff of Coloma-This presented to Phil B. Bekeart-San Francisco by Martin J. Allhoff-son of Martin Allhoff 1914."
