Описание:
In early 1863, the Walker party discovered gold in four locations: Hassayampa Creek, Lynx Creek, Weaver Creek, and Big Bug. These were the instigators for many events to follow, such as the establishment of a permanent town, land auctions, and violent interactions between settlers and indigenous groups. In May of 1863, 25 men signed a contract that established Prescott as the first mining district in Central Arizona.Image 1: Some members of the Walker party pose for a photo at Lynx Creek
