The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong Later that afternoon a young boy came running into the office. "You gotta help my dad. Jessie Cole and his men are tryin' to take over our claim." He had brought an extra horse and we rode with him out to the mine. He told us that he was Jim Endicott and that Will was his father. When we arrived, Cole's men were staging a gun battle with Endicott who was holed up in the mine shack with pistols and a shotgun. I told Cole to hold his fire and gave him time to show me the signed paper giving ownership of the mine to him. He said, "He's on my land and won't give it up." I said, "I am the sheriff. It is my job to evict him. I'll go in and talk to him. Tell your men to p...

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. Jesse Cole said, "And that is Tammy Wurtherington! I SAY WE HAVE TAMMY WURTHERINGTON FOR SHERIFF!" A roar of approval hit the balcony and he walked over to me. He said, "How about it, Ms. Wurtherington�will you be our new sheriff?" I said, "Give me a moment to discuss this with my mouse." "You heard the girl," said Jesse Cole. "She needs to discuss it with her mouse!" Another wave of laughter filled the room while I huddled behind the bar with Alfred. "What do you think, Alfred? Should we do this?...

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. February 18, 1848 Dear Diary, We rode the stage back to Coloma that afternoon. Posters of Rattlesnake Cedric, Mad Dog Zeke, and me were posted up and down the road with warnings not to fire a gun in the town. The voting was closed and Judge Slade was busy counting the ballets on the boardwalk. A banjo player sat on a barrel and sang a song to a tiny gathering of children. "Mad Dog and Rattlesnake were the meanest deputies of the West. They carried no guns because they were quicker than the rest. They carried skillets and they would whack you on the head. Bandits learned to run from them; otherwise they were dead!" Mad Doggggggg! Rattlesnaaaaaaake! ...

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. Later, an older woman took me aside. She said, "Ma Parker is taking care of three little orphaned children in a tent outside of town. She takes in children and treats them as though they were her own. She has a heart of gold, and needs help keeping up as she has no money." Alfred said, "We could give her money if that would help." "No, that will not do," she said. "She is a proud woman and would not accept charity." I told her I had an idea and would take care of it. Zeke said, "We must do something." Zeke was an orphan, one-of-a-kind and knew what it was like to be alone. We walked to the edge of town and found her tent. She was busy washing the hair of a l...

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong, Cedric said, "I hope this goes better than the last trip!" I hoped so too as it was a terrifying ordeal. A whirlwind swept all about us and the shed hurled into the air as though we were in the center of a tornado. When I opened my eyes, we were all standing on the balcony of the palace that overlooked the city. We all let out a sigh of relief that the trip went without any problems. Lucinda and Queen Betty greeted us. Alfred became a human as he always did when we returned to Kira. Kakuna elves served us gobble berry pastries and lemonade while we sat under scarlet parasols. Lucinda asked, "How was your trip today? I hope it was not the dreadful affair you encounte...

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. I said, "I'm ordering you to give up your guns before you get hurt." Mad Dog Zeke gave an icy stare. He growled, "Drop'm now or make your move." Onlookers held their breath as they ducked for cover behind barrels that lined the boardwalk. The trio pulled their weapons from the holsters and sent bullets flying toward us. Mad Dog Zeke and Rattlesnake Cedric ricocheted the flurry of bullets off the skillets. Guns flew from the trio's bloodied hands as their own bullets found fresh targets. I kicked their guns aside as they stood holding their mangled hands. I said, "Turn around, boys. The jail is that way." Fish Eye said, "I need a doctor." Wacko and Rio wrapped ke...

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. Goldie tossed Mrs. Endicott into the water trough and that brought it to an end. Well, almost so. Goldie slipped and fell in horse dung and ended up with it all over her clothes and face. Mrs. Endicott ran down the street carrying what was left of her dignity and Goldie pushed back into the Sourdough Saloon. She grabbed a beer and splashed it over her head in an attempt to wash off the dung. She looked at me with pure hatred. "You pushed us out there and look at me!" The bartender handed her a mirror and held back a smirk. She took one look and cried, "I hate you!" and began hurling beer glasses at me. I grabbed a chair and fended her off as though she were a crazed s...

Tammy and the California Gold Rush: Art by Duy Truong. We decided to do a test run and soon we were all flying around Kira. We found ourselves over Sakuna, the home of the Kakuna elves. I could see they were happy to see us flying overhead and decided to land in the center of the village. Chief Wanakuka and his wife, Lanacua ran down the balcony to greet us. They were amazed to see all of us flying upon Polly. She was a hit among the Kakuna and a large crowd gathered to admire her. Polly, of course, loved every minute of it. Lanacua said, "You must stay and have a luncheon with us." Zeke and Cedric were hungry ( they loved to eat all the time) and we agreed to stay. Picnic tables were set in the middle of the square and we found oursel...

Tammy and the California Gold Rush: Art by Duy Truong. Alfred said, "Yes, this is going to be much better. You are dumping too much water into the bucket. You should skim off the water and then dump the gravel. We only have the one bucket, sir." "Of course," he said as he swirled the gravel around in the pan and then dumped the water back into the flume. He dumped the gravel into the bucket and something caught his eye. He reached into the bucket and pulled out a tiny nugget. "My, my," he said. "This is quite strange, indeed." He brushed it off and held it up to the light. "If I did not know any better, I would say this was a golden nugget." We all gathered around. I said, "I would not be surprised if it were gold." Alfred said, ...

The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. Alfred said, "I'll go with you and keep my mouth shut." He hopped upon my shoulder. We were halfway up the steps that led into the Sourdough Saloon when we were pushed back by four cowboys that were busy throwing a helpless citizen into the street. "'Stay out and don't come back!" said one of them as he tossed his hat into the muddy street. We helped him to his feet and handed him his hat. "Thank you, little girl. I'm Will Endicott. I'm going to git my gun and come back here."

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. I asked Polly if she wanted to be big and give us a ride to Sacramento. "Caw, caw, caw!" I said, "Turn around three times and close your eyes And soon you will be close to the skies. Make that which was small, Grow and be so very tall. Alakazim, Alakazam!" She did the turnaround and Polly became as large as ever. We hopped on Polly and flew high overhead and followed the road. We could see a quintet of bandits robbing the stage and running off with the strong box. We circled a few times as I wanted see where they were going.

Miner: Never Coal Hearted

In the 1850s Australia had gold fever. People flocked from all over the world to stake a claim during the gold rush but only the lucky few were lucky enough to find anything. The frustrations of life on the goldfields were compounded by the heavy handed approach to licensing and taxation that led to the Eureka uprising of 1854.

When mining out in the Old West, you'd better be careful where you dig! Or you might get blown sky high!

Keep Out is a sepia tone photographic art print of a replica of the entrance to an old mine. The setting is Tortilla Flats, located east of the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area up in the Superstition Mountains. Once a stage coach stop, Tortilla Flats is more of a tourist attraction with a great restaurant, small museum and gift shop all looking like an old west town including old wagons, wagon wheels and a replica of an entrance to a mine. I used a sepia tone finish and texture on the photograph for that old rustic look. The sepia brown tones originated with film photography as part of the process to develop the prints in the 1800’s. Today, we can recreate that same vintage look digitally. Follow my work: TheWallGallery: https://...
