Thank you for sharing this wonderful story about a truly remarkable man!
I too encountered that name in Folsom, and had previously only learned a small part of that history. I also learned a great deal from sitting at “Negro Bar,” (since renamed Black Miners Bar), and now wonder if those miners were somehow connected to Mr. Leidesdorf.

Thank you again, this was fascinating
Yes, I lived less than a mile from Negro Bar. Interesting question you pose. I’ll do a bit more research and circle back.
There's also a Leidesdorff in San Francisco. 🌉♥️
