Legendary 1862 Gold Prospectors in Eagle Range Tale
A fragmented 19th century Montana Oregon story recounts June 1862 events near the Eagle Mountains and Pine Creek, where two white prospectors and three Umatilla braves hunted gold. Soldiers killed three Indians in Grande Round Valley, claiming a staged victory, then the party moved toward Boise Basin after learning of a rich find. The piece links Chief Joseph and the Northwest gold lore with the Hat and Conejo mines, hints at archaic mining methods, and ends with a Globe Democrat note on a linguistic curse and earthquake myth.
