ebl-1758	Conrad, Cyler	The Monkeys and Parrots of Gold Rush-era California	2022	7	.pdf	application/pdf	3257	204	57	Although it is possible that portions of the immigrant Gold Rush population were familiar with these animals through travel across Central America or South America en route to San Francisco (Delgado 1996), for most prospective miners they were animals of fascination, perhaps only understood through stories, drawings, or circuses from home. And, while the modern ‘wild’ parrots of San Francisco (Bittner 2007) almost certainly do not relate in any way to these imported Gold Rush birds, the long-term record of exotic animals present in northern California speaks to the social structure created by, and evolved from, these human-animal relationships established during the Gold Rush era (Figure 2).	cache/ebl-1758.pdf	txt/ebl-1758.txt
