Gold Rush Student Activity Gold Rush Jobs
Gold Rush Student Activity Gold Rush Jobs Not everyone was a miner during the California Gold Rush. The discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 prompted the migration of approximately 300,000 people to California during the Gold Rush. While many were hopeful miners, some of Placer County’s most well-known pioneers created businesses to sell products or provide services to miners. Mining was difficult and dangerous, and not always profitable. Other professions could promise more money, and they helped create Placer County as we know it today. Learn about these professions below. Barbershop: Not all professions required hard manual labor. Barbers and bathhouses were popular amongst miners, who came to town for supplies, business, entertainment, and a good bath. Richard Rapier was born free in the slave state of Alabama in 1831. He attended school before moving to California in 1849. He mined and farmed before he purchased a building on East Street and opened a barbershop. He built up a loyal clientele and expanded to include a bath- house. Blacksmith: Blacksmiths were essential to the Gold Rush. Their ability to shape and repair metal goods pro- vided a steady stream of work. Blacksmiths repaired mining tools, mended wagons, and made other goods. Moses Prudhomme was a Canadian who came around Cape Horn to California in 1857. He tried mining but returned to his previous trade – blacksmithing. He had a blacksmith shop in Auburn.

My advisor, Dr. Alecia P. Long gave me a lot of good advice and asked questions that helped me see historic familial relationships in different ways. Dr. Long was patient with the time I took to gather my thoughts coherently into the work presented here. Dr. Gaines M.

Survival Strategies of the Northern Paiute a Thesis Submitted in Parti
University of Nevada, Reno Persistence in Aurora, Nevada: Survival Strategies of the Northern Paiute A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Lauren Walkling Dr. Carolyn White/Thesis Advisor May 2018 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by LAUREN WALKLING Entitled Persistence in Aurora, Nevada: Survival Strategies of the Northern Paiute be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Carolyn L White, Ph.D., Advisor Sarah Cowie, Ph.D, Committee Member Meredith Oda, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2018 i Abstract Negotiation and agency are crucial topics of discussion, especially in areas of colonial and cultural entanglement in relation to indigenous groups. Studies of agency explore the changes, or lack thereof, in material culture use and expression in response to colonial intrusion and cultural entanglement. Agency studies, based on dominance and resistance, use material and documentary evidence on varying scales of analysis, such as group and individual scales. Agency also discusses how social aspects including gender, race, and socioeconomic status affect decision making practices. One alternative framework to this dichotomy is that of persistence, a framework that focuses on how identity and cultural practices were modified or preserved as they were passed on (Panich 2013: 107; Silliman 2009: 212). Using the definition of persistence as discussed by Lee Panich (2013), archaeological evidence surveyed from a group of historic Paiute sites located outside of the mining town, Aurora, Nevada, and historical documentation will be used to track potential persistence tactics. -
HISTORY of WASHOE COUNTY Introduction
HISTORY OF WASHOE COUNTY Introduction Lying in the northwest portion of the State of Nevada, named for a tribe of American Indians and containing a land area in excess of 6,000 square miles, Washoe County today consists of two of the nine original counties -- Washoe and Lake (later renamed Roop) Counties -- into which the Territory of Nevada was divided by the first territorial legislature in 1861. The country, "a land of contrasts, extremes, and apparent contradictions, of mingled barrenness and fertility, beauty and desolation, aridity and storm,"1 was claimed by the Spanish Empire until 1822 when it became a part of Mexican territory resulting from Mexico's successful war of independence from Spain. Mexico ceded the area to the United States in 1848 following the Mexican War, and the ceded lands remained part of the "unorganized territory" of the United States until 1850. Spanish and Mexican constructive possession probably had little effect on the life styles of the Northern Paiutes and the Washos -- the two American Indian tribes which inhabited the area. The Northern Paiutes ranged over most of Washoe County2 save the series of valleys lying along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. These valleys were the domain of the Washos, a small, nomadic tribe whose members spoke an alien tongue and from which the name of the county is derived3. The 1840's During the 1840's Washoe County was traversed by a number of trappers and explorers, as well as several well-defined emigrant trails leading to California and Oregon. In 1843 mountain man "Old Bill" Williams4 led his trappers from the Klamath Lake region of California to Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River.
