Why this spot
1874-1900 gold camp
Gold camp around John Duncan's 1874 cabin that was platted around 1890 with businesses and a newspaper, The Duncan Eagle, serving about 250 people. After George Adams bought the Baca Grant in 1900 the settlers were ruled squatters and removed, some moving to Liberty.View source →
