DESCRIPTION:In 1844, Honorable William Alexander Leidesdorff, Jr. acquired Rancho Rio 
 De Los Americanos, 8 Spanish leagues or roughly 35,521 acres as a Mexican 
 Land Grant with the unique added stipulation not to disturb the Native 
 Americans migrations upon on his titled property, today's vast American 
 River Parkway during the transition from Mexican to United States 
 rule.\n\nThe California Gold Rush began in Winter 1848 and by Fall of 1854, 
 the initial successful Negro Bar mining camp had grown into the growing 
 transportation hub we call the City of Folsom today, a vast Regional Gold 
 Mining District.  The initial mile long gravel bar mining camp, along the 
 American River, was established upon land entitled to the "African Founding 
 Father of California, Historic Negro Bar, Sacramento County as surveyed by 
 Theodore Judah, September 1854.\n\nThis rich California Gold Mining 
 District along the American River attracted international fame during the 
 Gold Rush Era, 1848-1855.  We lovingly called the early pioneers, 49ers' 
 because in 1849 the gold mining towns of Negro Hill, Mormon Island, Negro 
 Bar and others were established.  \n\nThis 175 Anniversary Year, we 
 highlight "hidden secrets" while reclaiming our past.  Once again 
 officially documenting the salient contributions by early California 
 Pioneers of Pan African Ancestry (1840-1875) once again submitting the 
 application to rejoin the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, 
 showcasing our ongoing quest for freedom, equity and inclusion.\n\n"Black 
 Miners Bar, est. 2022" remains the home for our Leidesdorff Research Center 
 as we continue the journey to qualify and quantify the central hub for our 
 California Underground Railroad Network to Freedom (1840-1875)\n\nEveryone 
 is invited to join our "Groundbreaking Ceremony and Workday" as we 
 implement long-standing efforts plans to document, preserve, interpret and 
 showcase the salient contributions by people of Pan African Descent during 
 our Gold Rush Era, this 175th Anniversary Year of 49ers', early California 
 Pioneers both enslaved and free.\n
