A Fork In Time: The Alternate History Podcast
Explore the realm of alternate histories as we explore the "what ifs" that can flow from history's most pivotal moments. Each episode will focus on a specific moment in time--the fork--where history could have taken a different path. A Fork In Time encourages contributions and participation by our community of listeners who have become an integral and vital part of the show.
This feed is also the home of our companion show, The Room Where It Happened, featuring the team looking at significant historical events without the alternative prespective.
A Fork In Time: The Alternate History Podcast
Episode 0019—No Rush
On January 24, 1848, James Marshall finds gold at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California. Over the next two years, the new United States territory of California undergoes a massive transition from sparsely-settled wilderness to thriving statehood. How would history have been different if there had been no discovery and subsequent “California Gold Rush”?
