The Evils Of Abusing Wealth part 1

Perhaps the most famous gold strike in American history occurred in January 1848 when a man named John Marshall found gold at Sutter's Mill in northern California. The find set off a gold rush that reached a frenzied pitch, but it ruined Marshall and John Stutter, the man who owned the land. Sutter's land was overrun by gold seekers, his cattle stolen, and he was driven into bankruptcy. Marshall died drunk and penniless. Seeking riches and misusing them was a topic James spoke about quite forcefully.
