Camp-Fire and Cotton-Field Southern Adventure in Time of War Thomas Wallace Knox

Camp-Fire and Cotton-Field Southern Adventure in Time of War. by Thomas Wallace Knox I passed the summer and autumn of 1860 in the Rocky Mountain Gold Region. At that time the population of the young Territory was composed of emigrants from Northern and Southern States, those from the colder regions being in the majority. When the Presidential election took place, there was much angry discussion of the great questions of the day, and there were threats of violence on the part of the friends of the "institution." The residents of the Gold Region were unable to cast their votes for the men of their choice, but their anxiety to know the result was very great.
