Well, I think I’ve decided that my best bet here is to do the
following:
By 1849 <1849-01-01> the California Gold Rush had ...
This preserves the information that we are talking about the year
while giving me a time stamp I can use. Alternately one could use a
drawer to hide this information, or put it in the headline.
