Abstract
"When gold was discovered along Grasshopper Creek in the Beaverhead Valley the nation's view was focused upon General George McClellan's withdrawal from his assault upon Richmond and his inability to strike a telling blow at the Confederacy (summer of 1862)/ The big Alder Gulch strike, in May of 1863, was lost in the news of Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and the military turbulence of that climactic summer. The future territory of Montana and the entire trans-Mississippi West seemed unimportant before the vital events upon whose outcome the fate of the nation depended."
