— CALhxJrmiA’s rush in is 19
r *• i ft r* f * f f • «,
By James C. Olson
Supt., State Historical Society
Nebraska had its own gold.t
rush in the years 1858-’59. No <
one struck it rich, and the ex
citement was short-lived, but
while it lasted the territory 01*
Nebraska enjoyed a boom
which rivaled that of Califor
nia in the days of '49.
The whole thing started with
the discovery of a small quan
tity of gold in 1858 near the
head waters of the South
Platte, and particularly on
Cherry creek. This a. on ig now\
a part of Colorado but was
at that time included in the
far-flung territory of Nebraska
which stretched from the Mis
souri river to the continental
divide.
The territorial press seized
upon the news with gusto and
filled their columns with glow
ing stories of the great wealth
awaiting prospectors in west
ern Nebraska. Those stories
had their effect and the spring
of ’59 saw a great rush across
the prairies to the diggins.
The Nebraska City News re
ported a prediction that thfe to
tal number of prospectors
would reach 100,000 before the
year was out. i >
Merchants in the Missouri
river towns prepared to make
a killing as they vied with
one another for the privilege
of outfitting the would-be
prospectors. The newspapers
were confident that those who
stayed home' to do -bpsinesi
with the gold seekers, stood jp
a fair way to garner fortunes
as great as would) come , to
those who struck :it riqfe in the
iiuufs. . ir i 1 uv
There were others wh<^ be
lieved that it wasirijust plain
foolishness td give upn hdihes
and business itt the ifldrt? set*
tied regions qf the (territqiy to (
go gold hunting lty th? west.
J. Sterling Mo^toh, sectary
of the territp^y, declared that
the stories of gold Mad bden
circulated merely “tor the_pur
pose of speculation* in town lots
at Denver City and other
Rocky mountain villages.”
Events soon proved aorrect
those who had discredited the
stories of great wealth to be
found in the Nebraska dig
gings. By early summer wag*
ons which had started out em
blazoned with “Pikes Peak or
! Bust” began returning with
I “Busted” scrawled under their
once confident signs.
! Many of t}ie disappointed
| gold-seekers blamed their fate
on the newspapers and others
in the river towns who had
circulated the stories. A let*'
ter now in the Morton collec
tion in Love Memorial library
at the university, states that
the disappointed^ miners
threatened to “pillage the
towns, burn and sac it ,
hang the letterwriter^—
and make Ncfrf^gj|gt
mourning.”
No such dice .threats were
carried out, buL-4q£ a short
time during tbe sumtper of ’59
there was scfe.tt%ed fighting
all up and dowWthe Missouri
river and at --^gst one* editor
