Gold
Emigrants invest their hopes and dreams to the Pikes Peak gold. What drove men and women to abandon all that was familiar to face the unknown, and in some cases almost certain death, at the western edge of Kansas Territory? More incredibly, what induced them to stay and put down roots? Augusta Pierce Tabor, Calvin Perry Clark, and others relate the dangers of crossing the prairie and hardships of mining camps at Russell Gulch, Ore City, California Gulch, Buckskin Joe's, and Leadville.
