HANGMAN'S TREE (HISTORIC SPOT). Located on main
street, in the heart of the business district of modern
Placerville, one of the colorful mining camps in California
in the early 1850's. Early in its career, the town took the
name of "Hangtown," following the hanging of three
robbers from a giant oak tree that once grew on this
spot. The robbers had stolen fifty ounces of gold dust
from a French miner. Subsequently hangings at this spot
were numerous and the community retained its Hangtown
title for a number of years. Although now officially known
as Placerville, the community is still frequently referred
to as Hangtown. . . . R. D.
