Summary

The marker reads (as near as I can make out):

MARK TWAIN BRET HARTE TRAIL
MARK TWAIN CABIN
Stopping place of packers carrying supplies to miners. Often 200 jackasses on hill over night furnishing concert suggesting name "Jackass Hill". Very course gold found here, $10,000 taken from 100 square feet of ground. Quartz found contains 3/4 of total weight in gold. Mark Twain, Steve, Jim, and Bill Gillis, and Dick Stoker, the "Dick Baker" in "Roughing It", were cronies. Mark wrote here "Jumping Frog of Calaveras" from notes made at Angels Camp Tavern.
