These were typically not solitary efforts. But no matter what, if you were a lawyer or a banker, people dropped what they were doing, no matter what skill set they had, to go pan for gold.
Ce n'était typiquement pas des efforts individuels. Mais peu importe qu'ils fussent avocats ou banquiers, les gens quittèrent leur activité, peu importe leurs savoir-faire, pour aller orpailler l'or.
