The Klondike Gold Rush

[@callawayken650]

My granddaughter wanted a metal detector for Christmas so she could find gold. I think she saw it on a YT video. Well, I told her that I don't have much gold on the Almosta Ranch but we could detect on the shooting range for bullets. I think she is just as happy finding bullets that get turned into "gold" at the tune of five cents each. Her being with me, pure gold.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Oooo, I'll look at it.

[@LoremasterYnTaris]

While we're talking about the East Coast rushes, it's worth mentioning the Georgia Gold Rush of Dahlonega and Villa Rica in the late 1820s-1830s. A lot of the '49ers honed their craft in the foothills of the Appalachians.

[@victorwaddell6530]

​@ArizonaGhostriders I'm from Upstate South Carolina near the North Carolina gold rush area . As I understand the huge nugget was originally brushed off as an Iron Pyrite by the discoverer and used as a door stop . The finder sold the property to a new buyer who identified the rock as real AU .

Yukon showed courage and determination, Rex showed common sense in heading back south! the railroad built to help get to the goldfields and avoid the treacherous passage hike is still in use for tourist trains with only 40 miles if the original 110 miles closed

I've been watching quite a few of your videos now. And I've been trying to keep the old West. Alive as much as I can living here in New Hampshire. I am 25 years old and I keep as much as the old West. Alive as I can and thankfully, you're history, videos and stuff like this. It's helping me very much. Hopefully, sometime I can go and visit my mother as she's down in hurricane Utah. Hope way to make it today. Arizona is well warmed down there some day she got remarried and she moved out that way. But I'm still up here in New Hampshire. Living my cowboy way, hopefully someday I could get down in Come down in the West and see some Historical Landmarks of the tombstone and other things and that particular area someday I dress with the cowboy clothing and all and I don't not wear any modern day clothing at all. I buy all my clothes from a circle cowboy reenactment sites. I wear them and I wear them, and I wear them until they rot off of me. Not a word I wore him until there was nothing left of them. I take a bath once a year at most as the old cowboy's dead. I'm always dirty and grimy. And I aint afraid to get dirty either. I wear my clothes until they park your rod off. That's when I take a bath. Basically I wear nothing but button suspenders. And bedfront churn cowboy pants, even sometimes leather chaps. And I stuff like that. I always wear my bandana too, and my cowboy hat. I do hot making tube but never really went on a big process a bit. I shape my own wool hats bombing hat blanks

And oh, by the way, I make sure all my boots are leather soul or leather heal or wooden heal with no rubber mallet. As rubber wasn't around yet on shoes, therefore I for another or wooden heels. With leather shoals, and I always make sure I could try where my spurs as well. I have a cobbler up here. That, that's a very good job at helping me make my shoes the way I like 'Em. And if I need fixing them

[@alexleblond5041]

@ArizonaGhostriders Of course. My great-grandfather didn't work hard for nothing. They worked hard foh what they hadn't what they had. Everyone always tells me in the Western movies that they see with me. As they say ohh $,12 on $30, it aint a whole lot. A lot of money, but guns could cost more than that. Or what would they say? It cost well back then. The money was great. Pay with lore and things were different back then. And like I said, you can't be afraid to be rough and tough, as I've run out of my genealogy, I'm related to John Wayne. He's like I forget what cousin there. He is to me, but I found out that he's related to me on my mom's side. I'm also related to John Browning on my mom's side as well. Tell interesting. I love buying the old captain ball. Or guns, and not to buying original antique and reproduction ones. And take on man. Text. And if I can't find time that confix and get it no longer make the parts. I rather been making my own gun part as I've been learning from a gun. Smith as well, but he says I think they have a natural talent for it. There's a gun Smith right here in town. I always keep the old West alive as much as I can. I never live a day in the mar day life. I love my old old ways everyday and everyday gotta keep those old flashing volures now. There was a lot of life lessons in them that we have forgotten about today. And about time, that's someone like my age. Try to remember that and show it every day. I am only 25 going on 26th this July 23rd, but I am very much every way a cowboy. I know how to open lasso, if I need to. I know how to make a rope. I know how to make a whip. I know how to make something for nothing. I low cooking in my cast. Iron every day, I especially love you when I go camping and cook over the open flame and brewed a strong Coffee pot. I'm coffee pretty shack. I have died taken. Get rough beans and Shrum up. And then I take a destroy in the bottom of the pot. Tied up and brew a strong batch. And I need a strong belt.

If you like gold stories do one about Samuel Brennan, who ran through the streets of San Francisco yelling "Gold! Gold! Gold on the American River." Then he set up a store selling supplies, at prices that would have shamed the Devil. And instead of living in shame he has a street named after him. It's always the suppliers who got rich no matter what, and they never got wet, tired or dirty. Kinda like today.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Interesting!

[@JeffSoapySmith]

Excellent and fun video, John! Hope you don't mind me stating that the gold rush of 1896-98 was not an Alaskan gold rush, but Canadian, although Alaska did play a major role in the rush as a destination port. As you mention, Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith (my great-grandfather) play a key part on the Alaskan side. The "Alaskan gold rush" did not come to be until 1899 in Nome.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks, Soapy. It was also called the "Klondike Gold Rush" and in my research I found that the "Alaskan" part was due mainly to the fact that Americans were the majority of the Stampeders. It would appear many weren't happy with the Canadian taxation so they went to the Alaskan side and prospected there. Still, "Alaskan", "Yukon", and "Klondike" all mean the same gold rush. This did bring a bit of confusion with a couple commenters so I changed the thumbnail and the title to "Klondike Gold Rush."

[@ArizonaGhostriders]
