Many people remember the Gold Rush. This transformational period of time left a profound impact on Northern California’s history. Roseville was barely part of the Gold Rush, save for a few trails that took the miners to the diggings. So how did this little town get its roots? What was the impetus for those beginning days, and who were the brave pioneers that settled the land? Christina Richter is a local historian, author and presenter. She is the immediate past president of the Roseville Historical Society, a Placer County Historical Advisory Board member, Region 8 Vice President for the Conference of California Historical Societies, and a docent for the Placer County Museum. She is also a 2019 Sacramento Historical Society Enlightenment Award recipient.
