Great ! I listen this song 8 year ago and i never hear any time to this time, today , sit and think about last time and search it on google, i am happy when listen it now.
Correct, John Sutter did not find the gold, it was James Marshall, and it was January 24th, 1848 -- not 1847 like the song says, among other incorrect information.
@AriaPicturesInc : And the first gold was assayed by the only man in the area who'd had some chemistry training- an Army officer who was a West Point graduate who came in 3rd in his class academically by the name of William Sherman.
Fogelberg went bluegrass on this fine album and did a tremendous job of it. This song is the best of the bunch and still sounds as good as it did when I first listened to it.
I've always liked this song. It breaks my heart. I used to live about a mile from the Sutters Mill in Coloma. Dan mistakenly sings that John Sutter found the gold. It wasn't Sutter at all. It was a man named James Marshall. It's a shame that Dan didn't research any better when writing it. James Marshall worked for Sutter, he was the lumberman who built the mill. Dan doesn't even mention James in the song. Breaks my heart
Thinking and missing Dan on this day. Looked at my framed copy of his birthday announcement this a.m. and could only smile and give thanks for the legacy of music he left us.
They are closing Sutter's Mill. I should say that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to feel that it isn't "valuable" ... only his precious "budget" that he overspent is. Thank you for immortalizing a very important place.
Nice melody and I am a big fan of Dan Fogelberg but historically the lyrics aren't even close. James Marshall found the gold not Sutter. Sam Brannen told everyone about the find not Sutter. Sutter hated the gold rush because all the laborers at Sutter's Fort took off to look for gold.
Dan wrote some great love songs, I especially enjoyed and admired his works when he told a story in his songs. His talent really showed through. And lets not forget how he rocked as well as some of his guitar licks.
Amen sister friend~! Antonio is so somking hot it almost burns the corneas of my eyes to look at him. And the more I see this, the more the song and vid look as though they belong together. I love Desperado. Reminds me of one of my lovers, he's a real bad boy, and a real good man. Yum Yum!!!
Great minds think alike, hah. I hope Antonio knows how much pleasure he brings to women the world over. He is so beautiful!! I mean it. I just like to look at him, over and over again.
I love this song, the heart in the story. Also, the song, "Forefathers" HE was a compassionate man, he saw his forefathers and what they went through. THIS SONG IS GREAT! Sad about those who died in the Rocky Mtn's.
I agree -- what a great song! When Dan decided to do a Bluegrass album, as everything else he did, it was a real work. The video is totally undeserving to be put with this song. What's up with that? Someone apparently didn't pick up on the history lesson Dan put forth so eloquently in the lyrics.
I understood very well before, my friend. I was not using words literally, but sarcastically. Anyway, I hope you manage to increase your vocabulary so that you can express yourself more elegantly in future.
my stepmother Lib introduced me to Dan and I dedicted Leader of the Band to my Father years ago, and it gives me chilles and makes me proud to know that he died on my father's birthday last year. 3 thumbs up to Dan! jan from NC
this song is growing on me! the more I hear it the more I want to hear it again.. like so many of his great songs!! they get better with age..thanks for posting it!!
The more I slip in here and listen to this geat song about 1860 Deadwood goldrush stuff more I appreciate the video that goes along with it... the damned thing grows on ya! It's funny as hell. Thanks man, you got a good eye.... just one tho... here's hoping It ain't in the middle of your forehead like mine is. I have trouble getting fitted with glasses but on the up-side it is cheaper having to use only one false eye-lash at a time. I don't exactly know how to write good through Old Crow
The guy who put this video with this song has a bad sense of direction but at least he's got good taste in music or maybe he really likes Salma... I think he should have used the snake scene from From Dusk Till Dawn.... Now that would have been a lot funnier.
To the Morning (from Home Free) may very well be the most beautiful song ever written and recorded...if you have not listened to it, do. Dan wrote and recorded it at either 17 or 18 yrs old...magical talent.
I have loved his music more than for any other musicians in the last 30 years and I have seen him live @ a dozen times. His wonderful music stands for itself. On his website someone wrote "it is hard to imagine heaven, without Dan there". So very true
I was set free from my first marriage, early in my 20's with 2 babies. He was my hero then and still is. God Bless Dan for all he gave each one of us.
Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would thank the lord for their deliverance And some would curse john sutters mill. Well, they came from new york city, And they came from alabam With their dreams of finding fortunes In this wild unsettled land. Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows As they tried to cross the plains. And some were lost in the rocky mountains With their hands froze to the reins.
In the spring of forty-seven, So the story, it is told, Old john sutter went to the mill site Found a piece of shining gold. Well, he took it to the city Where the word, like wildfire, spread. And old john sutter soon came to wish hed Left that stone in the river bed. For they came like herds of locusts Every woman, child and man In their lumbering conestogas They left their tracks upon the land.
I'ved just check my email and got the news of his passing...Another legend gone but your music stays forever as your "living legacy"...This song is my fave...,thanks a lot...rip
I come from a mining town in Mountain Province,Philippines;where "some prospered and some failed". Mining is a tough job so I went to school and came to America hopefully to prosper...sony touche k. sawad

I'm confused, I love the song, and the video is awesome, but is this one of the videos to a movie, using a song as a songtrack behind it? That's my guess, can you tell me if that is so?
