Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive story of Georgia's role in the first U.S. gold rush In the 1820s a series of gold strikes from Virginia to Alabama caused such excitement that thousands of miners poured into the region. This southern gold rush, the first in U.S. history, reached Georgia with the discovery of the Dahlonega Gold Belt in 1829. The Georgia gold fields, however, lay in and around Cherokee territory. In 1830 the State of Georgia extended its authority over the area, and two years later the land was raffled off in a lottery. Although they resisted this land grab through the courts, the Cherokees were eventually driven west along the Trail of Tears into what is today northeastern Oklahoma. The gold rush era survived the Cherokees in Georgia by only a few years. The early 1840s saw a dramatic decline in the fortunes of the southern gold region. When word of a new gold strike in California reached the miners, they wasted no time in following the banished Indians westward. In fact, many Georgia twenty-niners became some of the first California forty-niners. Georgia's gold rush is now almost two centuries past, but the gold fever continues. Many residents still pan for gold, and every October during Gold Rush Days hundreds of latter-day prospectors relive the excitement of Georgia's great antebellum gold rush as they throng to the small mountain town of Dahlonega.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gold Placers of the Vicinity of Dahlonega, Georgia The principal gold region of Georgia is confined to a belt from one to five miles in width, stretching in a north-easterly and south-westerly direction, parallel with the Blue Ridge, through Habersham, White and Lumpkin counties, and be yond into Alabama. The region of country including these mines was originally owned and inhabited by the Cherokee Indians, but there is reason to believe that they were entirely ignorant of the existence of gold in their soil.
