A French baker in a Gold Rush town started a loaf with wild yeast and never started another. The same culture has been carried forward daily since. The bacterium in it was eventually named after the city. During the 1906 fire a member of the family is said to have carried the mother dough out in a bucket.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
