DAYS OF ’49 CELEBRATION – SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
The Sacramento Whiskers Club formed in 1922 for the purpose of commemorating the California Gold Rush. Its members, called Whiskerinos, assumed the appearance of gold rush miners, donning period costumes, and growing luxuriant beards. The Whiskerinos were actively involved in Sacramento's "Days of '49," a week-long celebration of the Gold Rush that was held May 23-28, 1922.
Although the Whiskerinos dispersed shortly afterward, they came together briefly early the next year to celebrate Gold Discovery Day (January 24). Clyde L. Seavey held the distinction of being both Sacramento's first city manager and "Grand Chief Whiskerino of Camp '49 and the World."
