Our Problems In Golden Gulch
By Don
Our group had a few problems in Golden Gulch.
Our first problem was that a mining group struck a big claim upstream. At first we didn’t mind much but later they built a big dam. Then we got frustrated. Our group decided that we should go up and tell them to bring the dam down. My group chose me to go up and talk to them. It was a long talk and took a few hours, but we ended up paying them twenty gold nuggets and they brought their dam down.
Another problem that we had was that there was rumor that a thief was in town because of a robbery. A Chinese man was accused for the incident. He was accused because the day after the incident, the man that was accused was found carrying a pouch with the man with the stolen money’s first initial on it.
For that we held a camp meeting to see if he was innocent or guilty. Our group had nothing to do with it, and we just wanted to mine so we just went with the fastest choice. So we accused the man as guilty.
The man ended up being hung. After he was hung, his Chinese friends got mad at us for accusing him guilty. So, they stole twenty gold nuggets from us.
Our last main problem happened after our gold mining experience ended. We were getting bored of gold mining, and we were looking for something to do. We went into a gambling hall and saw one of our friends gambling and saw him win twice the money he worked for in his gold rush experience. When we saw him do that, we decided right away that we were going to gamble all of our money.
We were so excited to win twice the money that we worked hard for that we forgot what would happen if we lost the bet. Well, we lost the bet. We lost all of the money that we worked 5 weeks hard for.
Those were the biggest hardships that the Golden Hunters faced in Golden Gulch.
