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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of gold in the Rocky Mountains had been rumored in the United States since the Mexican-American War and the gold rush to California. But, when gold nuggets were found in Clear Creek in 1859, the cry "Pike's Peak or Bust" swept the nation, and the "Rush to the Rockies" began in earnest. In 1859 and again in 1860, almost 100,000 gold seekers joined the rush. It was into this flood of "Pike's Peakers" that Dr. Charles M. Clark plunged. From the notes Clark kept during his travels and of his experiences in the gold fields, came A Trip to Pike's Peak & Notes by the Way - perhaps the best contemporary account of "The Pike's Peak Gold Rush" -150 Years ago and counting. Clark's book tells in detail what it was like to be on the dangerous trail to the new "diggings," which took him forty-five days using oxen to pull his wagon. Then he discloses his observations on where the gold lay and why most prospectors didn't find it. Although revised for easier reading, the editors endeavored to keep the "flavor" of Clark's original tale. Illustrations from many other sources have been added to enhance the original story. This book will give you a true feel of what it was like to be a '59er.
