"From 1852 to 1857, due to the large production of placer gold in California, the United States enjoyed what has been called the California Gold Inflation Prosperity Period. Soon thereafter came the Civil War with the ususal war inflation, causing the wholesale commodity price index level to rise from 100 (average for the nineteenth century) to a top of 225. By 1870 the price index had settled back to 140. For the following twenty seven years, except for a short period in the early 1880's, deflation persisted in the national economy."
