Talk:Coarsegold, California

Sierra Entertainment
Ken and Roberta Williams set up what became Sierra Entertainment from their home on Mudge Ranch Road just outside Coarsegold. Is it worth mentioning in the article that a small town like Coarsegold was once the home of what became one of the biggest games software houses in the world?

 * The article has been revised to highlight Sierra games set in Coarsegold. I refrained from specifically mentioning the Williams, as they resided in various locations across eastern Madera County during their decade in the region. Guywelch2000 (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Suggestions for Revision in History Section
I've reviewed and made some edits to the History section of the Coarsegold article. Here are the changes summarized:

1. Detail Addition and Source Citation: Enhanced descriptions surrounding the establishment and development of the Coarsegold settlement post-1849 gold strike, particularly around the Fresno River area. Included a citation from the *Madera Tribune* to support the narrative.

2. Expansion on Economic and Social Dynamics: Added context to the economic conditions following the establishment of the trading post by John Ledford and George M. Carson, emphasizing the scarcity of goods and resultant high prices. Also, highlighted the social atmosphere, particularly the violent incidents known as The Crossing and the community's response.

3. Cultural and Historical Significance: Elaborated on The Crossing's role as a historical and cultural hub, mentioning its significance as a launch point for the first tourist group to Yosemite Valley and the establishment of California's first private school.

4. Legal and Social Order: Discussed the community's challenges with lawlessness, such as horse thefts and sluice box robberies, leading to the formation of a vigilante group to restore order.

5. Infrastructure and Notable Individuals: Noted the establishment of Fresno County in 1856 and the region's contribution to local infrastructure, like schools and mines. Also added information about Theodore Thure Strombeck, highlighting his importance in the area's history.

I invite all contributors to review these changes for accuracy, completeness, and neutrality. Please feel free to add any further details or corrections as needed.
