"In 1852, a chain cable bridge replaced the ferries that once crossed here and was supplanted in turn by a covered truss structure in 1862. Certain writers claimed that this was the location of Bret Harte's Poker Flat. In late "49" there was a large camp there, with miners washing out gold on both banks of the Stanislaus River."
