Why You Should Be Drinking Tea. Tea's health benefits: Although coffee has been linked to some health benefits such as lower risk of certain types of cancer, there are also some negative effects associated with coffee, such as caffeine dependency.he beneficial antioxidants, polyphenols, in tea may make the body absorb caffeine differently, over a longer period of time. So, while you might have to stop drinking coffee by noon to avoid sleep problems, you probably can go on drinking tea the rest of the day with no ill effects.
The California Gold Rush. In the cold morning hours of January 24, 1848, James Marshall, a construction foreman at Sutter s Mill, was inspecting the water flow through the mill s tail race.
The spark that ignited the gold rush occurred in May 1848 when Sam Brannan, a storekeeper in Sutter's Creek, brandished a bottle filled with gold dust around San Francisco shouting 'Gold!Gold! Gold from American River!' The residents of the city now had proof of the discovery and the stampede to the gold fields was on.San Francisco's harbor was soon cluttered with derelict ships deserted by their crews.. Shufelt was one of those gold-seekers. All that we know about Mr. Shufelt is contained in a letter he wrote from the gold fields to his cousin in March 1850. We don't know if he struck it rich or whether he ever returned to his wife and home-we don't even know his first name.
