Part 8: Pandora's Box...Southern Gold Rush.....The Railroads Building an Empire....Lewis Cass Payseur 1850-1939

We continue with Alex Christophers Pandora's Box,with more on the Southern Gold Rush,which I must have slept through in class.A narrative on the Railroads in the South,and the chapter on Payseur that has been making the rounds on the internet without accreditation to Christopher....

[....After Reed had settled on land which he was able to purchase from the State of North Carolina, he married a local girl named Sarah Kiser (Kisor) and they began to raise a family. Sarahs' sister Susannah Kiser married Daniel Payseur in about 1814 and this made Daniel and John Reed brothers-in-laws. Just another back country settler, another immigrant born to live and die plowing the red clay country of Piedmont Carolina except for one event. His son had found a yellow rock and in 1802 on a trip to Fayetteville, that was recognized as pure gold. The jeweler there purchased it for $3.50.

When he finished buying his farm supplies John saw some coffee beans. "Imported from South America," said the store clerk. He took them home to his wife, Sarah, and she cooked the coffee beans with pork the next night for supper. When he tasted them Reed knew he had been swindled! But the real swindle was the purchase of a 17-pound gold nugget for $3.50. Even though word traveled slowly in those days. Reed eventually heard that the jeweler had sold the gold from the nugget for several thousand dollars, perhaps more.

Back to Fayetteville went an angry German. History does not record the conversation between Reed and the jeweler but when Reed left Fayetteville for the second time he had apparently been more fairly compensated. More important than that was John Reed's going back to Little Meadow Creek to look for other golden rocks.

An there they were! The rocks shone yellow in the morning sun beneath the surface of the swiftly running stream. Most of them were small but he could have filled a quart jar with them in half an hour. He saw in the sunlight on his own farm what Hernando DeSoto had seen only in his dreams.

At that moment, John Reed, small farmer, German immigrant, former British private, was the richest man in North Carolina!

Not only in the stream, but in the gravel beside it, were gold nuggets weighing up to 28 pounds. Although Reed did not know it at the time, the very hills on his farm carried quartz veins filled with gold ore. Until this time, in Europe, any gold discovered belonged to the king. In fact gold found by expeditions of Spaniards or Frenchmen was automatically the property of their kings. Thus, there had never been a gold rush. What sense was there in rushing in to get something the king's men would appropriate?

But on this morning in 1802 John Reed was an American and when he looked at the gold, it was the first time a man knew that the golden riches he had found belonged not to the king, as decreed in European countries, but to him. America's gold rush had begun!....]
