Wow this is really great stuff... Most people that move up here have no Idea how important this area was in American History. My only brush with History at Weber Creek, was my father having a sluice box there back when gold was only $32 an ounce. I would be curious if you have any tales of the "Goat Doctor", and his stash of Silver Dollars.
It seems like, given the Oregon trappers background, they were far more restrained then the later militias of miners when they came upon Indian villages.
It runs from Webber Damn, though Diamond spring's area, then under highway 50 right before the In and Out in Placerville CA, then winds it's way through Rescue CA and dumps into the south fork of the American river above Salmon falls Bridge, which is an area extremely difficult to access. I've tried. Most of Webber is on private property BTW. So be careful of that.
Great stuff, Guy. Would love to hear more about sites like this. We found a Chinese mining camp near Weber creek when we were kids.
Thanks for sharing the history. Brings the area to life!
Fascinating history sir thank you and I appreciate you reciting the native words and names.
Thank you for the history lesson. That was very interesting. I was not aware that these events happened in that area during the Gold Rush.
