Deadwood in 1877 (Eyewitness Account) 

I enjoy gold mining history no end, as an old underground miner living and working in towns that had remained unchanged since the late 1800s, in the late 1900s of the Kalgoorlie Gold fields of Western Australia, "one local book you may be interested in, if it can be found" (Two fevers gold and typhoid) which tells a fascinating history of the Kalgoorlie gold fields 💫🙏💞

Interesting!@@spirit1259

Me too, for the third time.

Wish the directors would of agreed on shit that’s why they canceled it 🙈

WOW! How often do you visit Tombstone? I hope to visit again in about two years. I just can’t get enough of that good old Wild Wild West era. Love 💕 it.

@reneethornton9228 I go about three times a month when they have a lot of Events . Like wyatt earp day and so on

@@Cruiser777 oh my gosh Wyatt Earp Day, I must come for that. Perhaps next year.

Woulda been sweet living back then in a way haha

@TheJoeml85 Yeah, that was a hard life, though, but I think there was a lot more freedom back then.

Thanks Renee!

Thanks for your support!

Also not to flex, but my grandfather and his brothers all worked at homesteak gold mine 2 of my uncles retired from there

Probably pretty haunted haha

Thanks!

if it did work, I'm guessing it would have been mechanical and would have had to be wound after a certain period of time.

jeezus you dont even know that clocks existed before electricity? wow. truly unbelievable.

@@zoltanz288 sure I did I just never seen an outdoor clock before

🙄

Yes sir. To not acknowledge this is a terrible oversight.

Agreed.

😁👉😆😆😆😆😆

No way!!! Are you serious?? I can't believe they were allowed to ruin pieces of history 😠

Why would they do that?

I've seen a lot of variation in 19th century photographs. You might find this one interesting, taken in 1873 in Hays, KS, the soldiers are Sumner and Welsh, killed by David Roberts. One reason the photo is so clear is that The Church of Latter Day Saints has the original glass negatives and so were able to scan it in a high resolution. (Btw the description on their website is incorrect). This same photo is shown on the Kansas State Historical Society website (the second link provided) but looks much worse, probably because it was scanned at a lower resolution or is a copy of a copy: catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/assets/34b146b6-47a3-4590-bd2f-a551664273f7/0/0?lang=eng www.kshs.org/index.php?url=km/items/view/25075

@@legacyofthewest Thanks for this. You’re right-there is quite a difference between the two.

Well, I don't know, but I've been told Uranium ore's worth more than gold
