Errors with History of California links

The Rambling Man had reported at WP:ERRORS that the Jan 24, 1848 was not verifiable in the body by the cited source.[1] Looking at the page's history, it seems like the links to Bancroft's History of California were incorrectly changed to point to Volume XXII instead of XXIII since October 2019.[2] I fixed the links with this edit. I verified that the link in footnote 4 to "Bancroft, Hubert (1888), pp. 32–34" now correctly verifies the text for the Jan 24 date.

I'm not a subject matter expert, so others might want to verify that other citations to that work are correct now. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 16:22, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the far-left Marxist propaganda from the introduction.

There was no "California Genocide." Indians dying from a smallpox epidemic is not a genocide. The vast majority of historians writing about the gold rush do not refer to the California American Indians' deaths and mistreatment as a genocide. Only a tiny, fringe minority of activist scholars do, and it is highly controversial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.32.84.229 (talk) 22:28, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there was, by definition, and there is even a linked article about it. Please provide reliable sources to back your claim if you feel that the sources cited by the article are in some way erroneous. UpdateNerd (talk) 01:25, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Yorkers relocating to California

No information about the exact numbers of people who immigrated from New York City to California in the 1800's but I am assuming it is 3,000 people moved from New York City to California in order to seek gold. 2603:7000:B901:8500:1C16:C236:D720:C571 (talk) 00:47, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
