Massacred for GoldR. Gregory NokesGold Miner |
Massacred for Gold In 1887, more than thirty Chinese gold miners were massacred on the Oregon side of Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America. Massacred for Gold, the first authoritative account of the unsolved crime, unearths the evidence that points to an improbable gang of rustlers and schoolboys, one only fifteen, as the killers. The crime was discovered weeks after it happened, but no charges were brought for nearly a year, when gang member Frank Vaughan, son of a well-known settler family, confessed and turned state's evidence. Six men and boys, all from northeastern Oregon's remote Wallowa county, were charged-but three fled, and the others were found innocent by a jury that a witness admitted had little interest in convicting anyone. A cover-up followed, and the crime was all but forgotten for the next one hundred years, until a county clerk in Wallowa County found hidden records in an unused safe. Massacred for Gold traces the author's long personal journey to expose details of the massacre and its aftermath and to understand how one of the worst of the many crimes committed by white... |

Gold Fever! How the California Gold Rush Changed the Face of America eBook In the spring of 1849, Henry Sargent Crandall caught gold fever. For a year, rumors of gold in California floated into his Washington County, New York hometown. But when the New York Tribune ran a letter from a young Army lieutenant about the fortune being plucked from the streams, Henry was stirred to action. Quitting his job, he helped form the Washington and California Mining and Trading Association. Ignoring his mother’s shock and his friends’ entreaties to change his mind, he made his way to St. Joseph, Missouri and jumped off for California. As the wagon train left civilization, the men were in high spirits. With St. Joe fading far behind, they sang a parody of ‘O’Susanna’ . “I’m goin’ to San Francisco And then I’ll look around And pick up all those Lumps of Gold A ‘layin’ on the ground!” During the six month trek west, the wagon train carrying the would-be miners faced death by cholera, spring floods, boiling temperatures and brief battles with Indians. Although some members of the Associat... |
