Quest for legendary mine actually led to real riches

from Offbeat Oregon History podcast · host Finn J.D. John

As a historical account, the Lost Blue Bucket Mine story is, to put it mildly, questionable. But there can be no denying the impact it has had as a legend, repeated and believed by generations of Oregonians. (Auburn, Baker County; 1860s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1701d.blue-bucket-gold-mine-427.html)
