  • The Panama Route in the United States Civil War
    Controlling the California Gold Steamers: The Panama Route in the United States Civil War Neil P Chatelain University of Louisiana-Monroe At the outset of the United States Civil War, both sides worked to build mili- tary and naval strength. For the North and the South, hundreds of thousands of soldiers enlisted, supplies were manufactured and stockpiled, and ships were hur- riedly converted from merchantmen into gunboats. Fighting the war would take more than the men and material needed on the battlefield, however. Sufficient funding was essential to maintain flow of supplies and payment of soldiers, both North and South. Multiple avenues of financing the war emerged, ranging from cotton speculation by the Confederacy to wheat exports and public bonds issued by the Union. Hard currency, in the form of precious metals such as gold and silver, remained in high demand. The Union’s gold supply was crucial to its eventual victory and a lack of such in the treasury of the Confederacy hindered its ability to finance its own war effort. Rather quickly, the largest gold transpor- tation route became a military target of significance. For four years, both sides waged a multi-pronged campaign to control the Panama route, the collection of shipping lanes from New England to Panama to California where millions in gold was transported each year. Control of the Panama route and its flow of gold steamers held the potential to tip the financial balance of the United States Civil War, resulting in a campaign of Confederate strikes countered by Union naval and diplomatic interventions focused on protecting both the shipping lanes and the gold steamers plying them.

What if a murder victim’s assailant could be identified by examining the victim’s retina not long after death? Might the retina have the criminal’s visage imprinted there? Photography had been introduced and some thought the same principles might apply for the human eye.

Those of us who attended the "Gemstone Deposits of Colorado and the Rocky Mountains Region" symposium and field trips especially enjoyed this because we had just learned about Colorado diamonds first hand. Our thanks for this high quality experience goes to the Colorado Chapter of Friends of Mineralogy, the Colorado School of Mines, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and the U. S. Geological Survey. Howard Coppersmith of Great Western Diamond Company introduced us to the Colorado-Wyoming State Line diamond district with his talk, and additional reading materials (below) provided background information. Kimberlite, the distinctive rock in which the diamonds occur, is igneous rock derived from deep within the mantle. http://www.mineralsocal.org/bulletin/2002/2002_oct.htm Page 2 of 7 August 2002 3/23/17, 156 PM It typically erupts quickly to the surface in "pipes" and brings up samples of various rock types it penetrates.

  • Public Opinion and the Great Diamond Hoax of 1872
    ABSTRACT “A DELIBERATE AND ODDLY PLANNED MASTERPIECE OF ROGUERY”: PUBLIC OPINION AND THE GREAT DIAMOND HOAX OF 1872 In August 1872, a mining company in San Francisco, California started a diamond rush that lasted for four months until the scheme was exposed as an elaborate hoax. The story of The Great Diamond Hoax of 1872 is regularly retold as a legend of the frontier, but it also sheds light on the broader social context of the postbellum West. The diamond hoax forced westerners to consider where they placed their trust at a time when war-weary Americans familiar with eastern humbug were migrating into the region in search of a fresh start. This duality, a jaded skepticism existing at the same moment as a hope for prosperity, played itself out in the western public’s reception of the diamond hoax. Both the press and the scientific community functioned as interpreters of the diamond news for the western population. The press explained the hoax through local priorities and reflected the widespread skepticism of the era. The scientific community, on the other hand, and their silent partner the federal government, were increasingly trusted as legitimate protectors of the public good. This was reinforced when a prominent federal geologist revealed the diamond hoax to the public. The newspaper coverage of this brief diamond rush reveals the irregular trajectory of information exchange in the postbellum American West and highlights the role of scientific experts and the western press as cultural intermediaries between rural settlements and
