The phrase “Sourdough”<\/em> comes directly from the 1849’ers of\u00a0the gold rush when these miner’s would make\u00a0their bread from a special brew of fermented yeast. It would create a rather sour loaf of bread, this bread\u00a0was durable, hearty and tasty.<\/p>\n

You can even buy sourdough\u00a0bread today, although it’s not as popular as other sweetened breads are today.<\/p>\n

\"Gullgraver_1850_California\"<\/a>That bread was often synonymous with the experienced gold prospector so much so that the following phrase came about- “Sourdough Miner”<\/strong><\/em> meaning someone who had the\u00a0seasoned experience in finding gold and mining it.<\/p>\n

Enclosed below\u00a0is a little video snippet giving a flavor of what those gold prospectors of yesteryear experienced along with some great pictures and a little tune dedicated to the Sourdough Miner.<\/p>\n
