      I enjoy gold mining history no end, as an old underground miner living and working in towns that had remained unchanged since the late 1800s, in the late 1900s of the Kalgoorlie Gold fields of Western Australia, "one local book you may be interested in, if it can be found" (Two fevers gold and typhoid) which tells a fascinating history of the Kalgoorlie gold fields 💫🙏💞

      It worked like any other clock of the 1800s and before. Grandfather clocks sat on top of tall cabinets that held the weights and pendulum. The weights served as the “battery” and stored energy, slowly lowering as the pendulum swung back and forth ticking off the time. The weights were pulled up to their top location usually once a week.

  • @ScooterFarts
    @ScooterFarts 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    The story of Deadwood should begin with how it was protected lands of the Lakota. Illegal "settlers" streamed in gradually violating the governments treaty that had been honored by the native tribes.
    Upon discovery of gold, the government made a small petty offer to buy the land...which was refused as it held the sacred Black Hills.
    This broken treaty led to the hostilities and events that would see the Indian War & near erradiction of plains and other tribes. Including the battle at Little Bighorn.

    Interesting. The photographs puzzle me, however, because the subjects seem genuinely of the era but the lenses are suspiciously sharp and the shutter speeds suspiciously fast. Usually cameras of that time required long shutter speeds which caused any motion to blur, and I have never seen such old lenses capable of that degree of clarity.

    • @legacyofthewest
      @legacyofthewest  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I've seen a lot of variation in 19th century photographs. You might find this one interesting, taken in 1873 in Hays, KS, the soldiers are Sumner and Welsh, killed by David Roberts. One reason the photo is so clear is that The Church of Latter Day Saints has the original glass negatives and so were able to scan it in a high resolution. (Btw the description on their website is incorrect). This same photo is shown on the Kansas State Historical Society website (the second link provided) but looks much worse, probably because it was scanned at a lower resolution or is a copy of a copy: catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/assets/34b146b6-47a3-4590-bd2f-a551664273f7/0/0?lang=eng www.kshs.org/index.php?url=km/items/view/25075
