(np) Engaging with the grammar in Marguerite Young's Debs bio

Anorak's delight:

Run-on sentence page 19 - "This was also the year of the discovery of gold in a creek bed in California, although only the first trickles of gold seekers were coming through from the blasted European lands in which the poor were turning into skeletons, the impetus to a greater migration occurred the following year, when the gold dust was confused with the City of Gold which was in the sun and was the place to which had always migrated the souls of the dead, who were fireflies and gave to the setting sun its glow."

There is no question but what a full stop is called for after "skeletons."

Yes she is wordy and windy and poetical, wending her way through a forest of evocation, but those are 2 distinct sentences. It's just wrong, wrong, wrong to put a comma there, for the love of Strunk! You could change "occurred" to "occurring" I guess, if it has to be one sentence. IMHO(tep) it reads better as 2.
