Tragedy Spring is a small alpine freshwater spring and historical site in southern El Dorado County, California. It was named after an incident on June 27, 1848, in which three Mormon men were killed, allegedly by American Indians. For many years, a tree carving with the names of the murdered men—Daniel Browett, Ezrah H. Allen, and Henderson Cox—stood as a memorial at their gravesite, before it was cut out and moved indoors for preservation; today it is located in the museum located at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma, California.
