Download or read book A Trail of Many Tales written by Robert W. Leonard. Jr. and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether four-legged animals or two-legged humans, trails are followed and retraced by an assortment of creatures through the centuries on the easiest paths through the landscape. They were always on some type of mission whether looking for forage, food, water or ports of call. Humans, from the 16th through the 19st centuries are most always on some military or commercial enterprise between destination points. The Old Spanish Trail was used for both purposes: Spanish traders from at least 1795 to the railroad surveys of the early-1850s. Commercially, hundreds of mules left Santa Fe carrying woolen goods for the Californios. In return, thousands of horses and mules were herded back to New Mexico and then up the Santa Fe trail to Middle America. Trail of Many Tales relates the history of the trail in south central Utah by combining first hand accounts, tribal lore, works of history, archaeology and state of the art scientific methods. Come on along and learn how large groups of animals were herded by not so many men and the identification of their trails, some 1,000 feet wide, that still can be isolated on small sections of the overland route.

Download or read book The Gold Crusades written by Douglas Fetherling and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the hordes of starry-eyed 'argonauts' who flocked to the California gold rush of 1849 was an Australian named Edward Hargraves. He left America empty-handed, only to find gold in his own backyard. The result was the great Australian rush of the 1850s, which also attracted participants from around the world. A South African named P.J. Marais was one of them. Marais too returned home in defeat - only to set in motion the diamond and gold rushes that transformed southern Africa. And so it went. Most previous historians of the gold rushes have tended to view them as acts of spontaneous nationalism. Each country likes to see its own gold rush as the one that either shaped those that followed or epitomized all the rest. In The Gold Crusades: A Social History of Gold Rushes, 1849-1929, Douglas Fetherling takes a different approach. Fetherling argues that the gold rushes in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa shared the same causes and results, the same characters and characteristics. He posits that they were in fact a single discontinuous event, an expression of the British imperial experience and nineteenth-century liberalism. He does so with dash and style and with a sharp eye for the telling anecdote, the out-of-the-way document, and the bold connection between seemingly unrelated disciplines. Originally published by Macmillan of Canada, 1988.

FOSTER'S LOST LEDGE Port Renfrew residents roamed all over the San Juan River's upper reaches, panning every pond and stream to discover where Foster got his gold—all in vain. LEECHTOWN'S $40,000 GOLD CACHE Legend has it the treasure was buried in the ghost town of Leechtown in a "knee-high rubber boot, covered with an inverted frying pan," less than two feet below the surface. LEGEND OF THE LOST CREEK MINE The elusive Lost Creek Mine, the best-known and most sought-after mine in BC history, remains lost. Does it exist? Is it worth $100 million? THE LOST PLATINUM CACHE Does a bucket of platinum said to be worth $50,000 still lie buried in the ruins of Granite City? Rumour persists that a Scandinavian named Johannson buried such a hoard. LOST MINE OF THE SIMILKAMEEN On striking a match, they found bones scattered all over the tunnel. Were they the remains of the missing prospectors? If so, this was where they made their last stand. THE LOST GOLD BARS OF CAMP McKINNEY In August 1896, three gold bricks en route to Midway were stolen. Although the suspected robber was later killed, the gold, now worth about $275,000, was never recovered.

They were staggeringly rich, containing between 400 and 500 ounces of silver and from 4 to 5 ounces of gold per ton. THE LOST LEMON MINE After discovering gold, partners Blackjack and Lemon got into a bitter argument that was settled later that night, when Lemon seized an axe and murdered his sleeping companion. GOLD FROM THE B.X. STAGE A treasure of $15,000 in gold nuggets and bars, loot from an 1890 stagecoach robbery, is said to be buried along Scottie Creek, just northeast of Cache Creek. LOST KLONDIKE GOLD The summit of Chilkoot Pass, known for its fierce blizzards, is the repository of two lost gold shipments abandoned by prospectors trying to save their lives.
