Description:This small book is the first printing of a journal that traces the journey of John D. Young and his party of seven from Chicago to the gold fields of Colorado in 1860. It begins a month before Lincoln's nomination as a candidate for President in May 1860 and ends five months later. The prairie-worn travelers marveled at the wonder of Denver, a town that had sprung up not two years earlier. By chance, they heard the shots that resulted in a saloon-brawl murder and attended the lynch-law trial and execution of the culprit. Real adventure and danger awaited them in the rugged mountains.
