The Seam

The first gold rush in the United States was in North Carolina, and the Charlotte Mint was built in 1837 because of what came out of the ground here. This is the guide's record drawn the way that gold arrived — a vein branching through quartz, thickest at its source.

Time is the trunk. Sixteen eras run round the disk in order, so travelling round is travelling forward through the centuries and travelling outward is going into detail: era, then period, then a dated fact, then everyone and everywhere that fact names. Click a stone to bring it to the middle — the whole face swings around it, because in this geometry moving your viewpoint distorts nothing.

Everything the seam draws, in the order it branches. The disk shows you the shape; this tells you the contents.

A note on the numbers: a count here is a count of entries beneath a branch, and a person named by five facts is five of them — that repetition is what the view is for. The record's 1,881 entries are 1,692 such mentions plus 189 facts that name nobody, drawn from 126 people and 83 organisations. Distances mean nothing: this is a picture of descent and order, not of duration.
