Summary:
The gold nugget in the small green box lay lovingly in the top drawer of mom's bureau in my boyhood home in Massachusetts. She once told me "it's the last nugget your grandfather found in his
Little
Klondyke Gold
Mine
". I paid no mind to her words for 50 years or so. Now, in my late seventies and with her passing, that 'last nugget' gives me an opportunity to link my own offspring to their Cox and Canadian heritage back 300 years to Edward Cox and even to the American Revolution. But could I actually find that long abandoned
Little
Klondyke
Mine
? Did it even exist at all? Where in Canada was it? Are there any government records of its existence and location? Would there be physical signs of an abandoned
mine
that still might be present, such as tailings from ore crushing, remnants of rusted out or broken down mining equipment, or logs from a self-built structure at the miners' camp? Could my grandson and I actually visit the site if we could find it? This is the story of that journey to find Grandpa's old
mine
