"In 1849 or 1850, Arch, Columbus and Jabe became afflicted by the gold fever and went overland to California. We have but few details of that trip. There was a considerable party and they had trouble with the Indians on the Rogue River, but I think none of the party was killed or seriously injured. Nor do we know how long they remained in the land of gold. Father (Jabe) returned by sailboat and had a long, stormy passage of thirty or forty days. How long "Arch" and "Lum" remained or how they returned we are unable to say."
