Thanks Jeff. The links to the Library of Congress are great! I love historical photographs, and the links to the articles really act like a time machine.

It's great to read about things like that while I'm frozen out from gold mining.

All the best,

Lanny

The first miners to travel the steep canyons of the motherlode must have really had a time.

Can you imagine some of those Greenhorns heading out to the deserts around here with no experience John? "Water? What do you mean there's no water?"

At least the guys in the bottom picture were fairly close to the river.

The fever sure destroyed many of them, sad, but nation building moments in time provide PRIDE in being a miner for sure. Such audacious tenacity is amazing. John
