  • Who is the author of this video? My granfather was there also--H.C.Diers

  • @lifewurm I've done a little research on my own.

    1860-1913's price of gold - $20/0z

    Minimum wage $5 dollars a month around 1860-1880

    Today's price of gold in 2012 should be approximately 4 months wage, its very undervalued.

  • 'Diamond Tooth Gertie' Now how did I miss that when naming my first born : /

  • Canada had a lot more sense than the US. You couldn't enter their country unless you could support yourself. They didn't want swarms of unskilled foreigners destroying their land and then scrounging for food and supplies. (BTW everyone is this video was white and spoke English)
