One of the struggles that people faced during the Gold Rush was the long journey to California. “The overland route offered the most popular and affordable means of travel to the gold

During the time of crossing the overland trail, many people instead chose to take the ship route which went around Cape Horn at the tip of South America. The points that we are given to keep in mind are:

On August 29, 1860, Loving and John Dawson started a herd of cattle to Denver to feed the gold miners. Loving sold his cattle for gold and tried to leave for Texas but since the civil war has broken out the Union authorities prevented him from returning to the south until he was told to. Loving was commissioned to take cattle to Confederate forces by Mississippi. Once the war ended they owed Loving between 100,000 and 250,000 dollars.

In the article “The Klondike Gold Rush,” it explains how miners from all across the land traveled to get to the gold rush. The two main paths to travel were by boat or by trail, the harder of the two was the trail because it was long and required going up a steep mountain. The article tells the reader of how people would be carrying hundreds of pounds going up the mountain, but then dropping most of their items on the side of the trail because they couldn't carry the weight. The point of view in this article gave us the idea that the journey was long and laborious.

The Transcontinental Railroad eliminated the need for a dangerous journey for anyone who wanted to travel from America’s East to West. Before its development, travelers would have to embark on a six month journey through the heart of America, passing through dangerous areas like mountains, rivers, and deserts. Another way to reach the other coast was to sail, but that posed a risk of exposure to diseases. For example, a traveler could contract Yellow Fever if he or she sailed around Cape Horn. Despite these dangers, people wanted to go to the West because gold was during the California Gold Rush of 1849 leading many people wanting to mine gold for

Alaska's rich soil was found to have large amounts of gold. The first gold was found in the Yukon area, instantly providing the United States citizens some excitement about the new found land. It instantly lured many miners to the land, searching for gold. Alaska became the leading gold miner of 1896 with the Klondike gold fields.

In the mid 1800’s a assembly of people fled to destined lands. The discovery of gold in California was an eye catcher, therefore having a great increase of people in the land. In Springfield, Illinois, a mass of people, emigrants managed by two wealthy brothers were headed to California, the destined lands. Planning their route ahead of time, told them that the California trail was the best way to go. The end of the trail led them to Fort Bridger, Wyoming, which wasn't their final stop. From there they sought a new route that was “allegedly” a shorter route. This was laid out by Lansford Hastings. Lansford Hastings was a developer of the shortcut the party took that was leading them to California. At the time that the group landed at Fort

The 2006 Drama film of Kokoda by Alister Grierson was overall not a very historical source of information, however, did cover some aspects correctly. This was demonstrated by the unjust portrayal of the Japanese, how they were displayed, and how the film was biased towards them. Also, the Australians were also depicted incorrectly throughout the film. However, the Terrain and conditions of Kokoda in the film were historically accurate and was a reliable source of the Kokoda trail, however, the overall portrayal of characters led to flaws in the movie.

Mr. Kuster began his report by thanking Mr. Villwock, Ms. Chism and Mr. Schickel for their support on the Trailblazer Trip. Referring to the Marketing Scorecard on page 87, Mr. Kuster stated there have been far more positive weeks than negative and we are up 2,203 policies through week 23. He stated that we tend to write more business in spring-summer time and at the beginning of the year and back of the year, things tend to slow down. We’ve put a lot of focus to it and we are having the results, which is really refreshing. In response to the question if these policies are coming from new members, Mr.

The Klondike Gold Rush took place in 1896-1899 in a tributary of the Klondike River in the Yukon territory of Canada. It took about a year for the news of the gold to reach North America but quickly a stampede of people began their journeys to what they hoped would lead to riches. 100,000 people set out for gold but only about 30,000 people made it to the destination that they were headed for. Many died as well as people who turned back and journeyed home. There was murder, suicides, diseases, malnutrition, and deaths from hypothermia all over at this time It took about a year for the news of the gold to reach North America but quickly a stampede of people began their journeys to what they hoped would lead to riches. 100,000 people set out for gold but only about 30,000 people made it to the destination that they were headed for. Many died as well as people who turned back and journeyed home. There were murders, suicides, diseases, malnutrition, and deaths from hypothermia. Additionally not only the people that had headed out for the gold dies but also the dogs that they brought with them. Over 3,000 animals died on this journey for gold. The White Pass Trail was the cause of much of these deaths. The animals were overloaded and beat until they dropped. The harsh cold climate ranged from a -20 degrees F to the -50 degrees F that were not unheard of. This bitter cold took many animals and people's lives during this gold rush. The lack of food was another great

Some people prevail instead of fail off their enemies because the weather conditions were harsh during the summer and winter, which the summer caused floods, deep mud holes and had mosquitoes. The winter caused the water to freeze, which no boats were available and caused the miners to face blizzards, hikes across glaciers, and falls over creases or icy cliffs. These conditions caused many hazards which made half of the miners die before getting to the gold. According to Gibbs, author of The Klondike Gold Rush, the cause of the miners having to buy stuff “meant a booming business for seattle”(Gibbs). After close analysis one could synthesize that many people died on the journey weather it was by boat or foot but some people fulfilled their

Many could not survive the harsh conditions they would have to endure during the trip and would have to suffer extreme losses. There were three main routes to the gold . Each one of them had disadvantages of their own. The first route was the fastest; however the luxury would cost a fortune for the miners . The second route was a much slower method of travel, despite this, the path was most common as it would be the cheapest way to reach the gold . The third route was a very long and dangerous trip; it consisted of many layovers throughout and a tremendous amount of exertion . Each one of the routes had hitches of their own, making it extremely tough for miners to reach the final destination. Many would say that the journey, itself, may have been the end of many innocent

When the California Gold Rush took off almost everyone wanted to try their luck in California, and the first thing they had to do is get there. If you on the eastern side of the United State or from European you had two choices to get to California they were the sea or land route, but if you were on the Pacific Ocean coast you direct sea route to there. The land route took you across the great United State through some of its most extremes weather and terrain, and traveler had survived the untamed west on their own and what they bring. Also, they had to struggle against diseases outbreaks such as Cholera which the text said, “As many as 1500 travelers died from Cholera along the Overland Trail in 1849” (Gillon, 298).
