OLD HELL’S CANYON

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

Folks, here is the real story on the copper find of the Eureka Mine in Hell’s Canyon. The stock that was sold garnered a lot more dollars than the copper found. But wasn’t that usually the case? There is a more interesting story here that the author writes in detail about and it covers the navigation of the Snake River. As a matter of fact, the author devotes an unusual amount of text to the construction of those steamers who tried their hands at carrying supplies to the miners of Hell’s Canyon. Below, I index the claims, mines and, in particular, the boats – sternwheelers and steamers- named below in this story entitled:

EUREKA-HELL’S CANYON BUBBLE THAT BURST

Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the history of the claims and those who tried to supply the miners of the Snake River Hell’s Canyon area are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.

I hope you appreciate the effort.

Eureka-Hell’s Canyon Bubble that Burst

By: Bill Gulick

Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, its worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Indians, my indexed listings will include all Indian names mentioned in the story from this time on.

EUREKA-HELL’S CANYON BUBBLE THAT BURST

By: Bill Gulick

OLD HELL’S CANYON

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.

My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color.

As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.

Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Mail to U. S.; $5.00 Priority; $12.30 for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,

Tom
