Abstract
The coming of the twentieth century witnessed the continuation
of the movement of settlers to the western states
of this nation. the movement having gained its greatest impetus
in the discovery of gold in California in 1849. The
discovery of gold in the Bohemia Mountain District of the
Cascade Mountains near Cottage Grove, Oregon, in 1858 had
also attracted settlers. Not all of those that came were
attracted by the prospect of finding gold. Many came to work
in and develop industries and business concerns that were far
less glamorous, but yet offered a promising future as the
economy of Oregon developed.
