Oak of the Golden Dream, Postcard, c. 1963. (Plastichrome by
Colorpicture Publishers Inc. of Boston, distributed by Chris Cards of
China Lake, Calif.)

Card reads: "Oak of the Golden Dream. In 1842 under this spreading oak
tree, the first gold was discovered in California. The finder, Don
Francisco Lopez, after sleeping beneath these boughs, noted bright
particles on wild onions he had pulled and found them to be gold. The
famous oak still stands in Placerita Park near Newhall and Saugus, Calif."

(not Sutter's Mill)
