  • The Klondike Gold Rush
    The Klondike Gold Rush 1 On August 16, 1896 Yukon-area Indians Skookum Jim Mason and Tagish Charlie, along with Seattleite George Carmack found gold in Rabbit Creek, near Dawson, in the Yukon region of Canada. Gold was literally found all over the place, and most of these early stakeholders (who became known as the "Klondike Kings") became wealthy. 2 Since the Yukon was so remote, word of this find spread relatively slowly for almost a year. On July 17, 1897, eleven months after the initial discovery of gold, the steamship Portland arrived in Seattle from Dawson with "more than a ton of gold", according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. With that pronouncement, the Klondike Gold Rush was on! 3 Within six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon. Only 30,000 completed the trip. Many Klondikers died, or lost enthusiasm and either stopped where they were, or turned back along the way. The trip was long, arduous, and cold. Klondikers had to walk most of the way, using either pack animals or sleds to carry hundreds of pounds of supplies. The Northwest Mounted Police in Canada required that all Klondikers bring a year's worth of supplies with them. Even so, starvation and malnutrition were serious problems along the trail. The story of the Klondiker who boiled his boots to drink the broth was widely reported, and may well have been true. Cold was another serious problem along the trail. Winter temperatures in the mountains of northern British Columbia and the Yukon were normally -20 degrees F., and temperatures of -50 degrees F.

  • Chapter Eleven an Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881
    Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 1 Chapter Eleven An Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881 Tombstone, Arizona Territory, 1800s (Courtesy Tombstone Courthouse) Nellie stepped off the stage onto Allen Street’s dusty board sidewalk. She turned to catch her carpetbag when the stage driver lifted it down, but stumbled over the hem of her skirt into the path of a dark-haired man with a full mustache. The stranger grabbed Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 2 her waist. “Whoa. Welcome to Tombstone! Got your balance there, Ma’am?” Nellie pulled her traveling skirt out from under her button-down shoe and noticed the man wore a silver star on his blue shirt. He took her grip from the driver and set it on the sidewalk. “My name’s Virgil Earp.” Next to him two other men attempted not to laugh. Virgil smiled, and indicated the other two with his hand. “May I present my brother, Wyatt, and Doc Holliday?” Earp, not a common name. These must be the Earps who had served as lawmen in Dodge City. She’d read newspaper articles and one of T.J.’s dime novels about Wyatt Earp. Doc Holliday stopped stamping his black boots to remove the dust, bowed at the waist and swept his bowler hat from his head. He smelled of leather and, what was that? Sage? “Indeed, welcome to Tombstone, lovely lady.” He drawled in a bass voice from under another wide black mustache. That made Nellie think of how Papa had always joked that men with mustaches were trying to hide something -- their upper lips.

  • THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index
    THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index Revised and edited by Kristina L. Southwell Associates of the Western History Collections Norman, Oklahoma 2001 Boxes 104 through 121 of this collection are available online at the University of Oklahoma Libraries website. THE COVER Michelle Corona-Allen of the University of Oklahoma Communication Services designed the cover of this book. The three photographs feature images closely associated with Walter Stanley Campbell and his research on Native American history and culture. From left to right, the first photograph shows a ledger drawing by Sioux chief White Bull that depicts him capturing two horses from a camp in 1876. The second image is of Walter Stanley Campbell talking with White Bull in the early 1930s. Campbell’s oral interviews of prominent Indians during 1928-1932 formed the basis of some of his most respected books on Indian history. The third photograph is of another White Bull ledger drawing in which he is shown taking horses from General Terry’s advancing column at the Little Big Horn River, Montana, 1876. Of this act, White Bull stated, “This made my name known, taken from those coming below, soldiers and Crows were camped there.” Available from University of Oklahoma Western History Collections 630 Parrington Oval, Room 452 Norman, Oklahoma 73019 No state-appropriated funds were used to publish this guide.

  • 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.
