Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pike's Peak Gold Rush (later known as the Colorado Gold Rush) was the boom in gold prospecting and mining in the Pike's Peak Country of western Kansas Territory and southwestern Nebraska Territory of the United States that began in July 1858 and lasted until roughly the creation of the Colorado Territory on February 28, 1861. The majority of the gold was found north of Pike's Peak, up to the Denver - Boulder area. An estimated 100,000 gold seekers took part in one of the greatest gold rushes in North American history. The participants in the gold rush were known as "Fifty-Niners" after 1859, the peak year of the rush and often used the motto Pike's Peak or Bust! This book, "Pike's Peak Gold Rush - One Miner's Account" traces the path of Chalkley J. Hambleton, from Chicago, transporting a fourteen-wagon oxen train loaded with a twelve-stamp quartz rock crushing machine and all necessary tooling, food and wares to set up a gold mining operation in Colorado, a truly engaging account for any wild west reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danger, hardship, and isolation could not turn back the tide of men and women who thirsted for yellow metal. The Pike?s Peak gold rush of 1859 attracted as many gold seekers as the more famous California gold rush of the previous decade. In this volume, noted western historian LeRoy R. Hafen has collected invaluable Pike?s Peak gold rush diaries chronicling the struggles, dreams, and heartaches of those who traveled the overland routes to untold riches. The diarists who came along the Arkansas and Platte Rivers and along trails from Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois created records of the landscapes and peoples they encountered as they journeyed. In the words of these single-minded adventurers, larger-than-life characters mingle with the awesome, terrible beauty of the Great Plains and the sparse comforts of the old Middle West. The Pike?s Peak gold rushers provide firsthand accounts of the dangers and rewards of overland travel, as they sought ephemeral fortunes in the Rocky Mountain West.
