The Legends

He was a con man and the judge gave him a chance to go straight.  Could he measure up to it?
He searched and searched for the gold he knew was there.  He finally found it.  But, something found him.  Something not quite human!
  It was discovered in the Floras Creek area and reported in the newspaper.  Then, for some mysterious reason, no more was heard.  Is it still there?
  There was a party on Arch Rock and the Coyote woke up to find everyone gone.  How did he get to shore?

   The vault was locked. The combination wouldn't work. It was time to have a talk with Old Man West from Red Flats and see if he would agree to come out of retirement.

Two men and one woman. It's an old story. This time it played out in Wedderburn, Oregon, near the Bayview Hotel, on August the 17, 1896. A cartridge misfired and sent one man to his grave in Gold Beach and the other man back to Marshfield.

She used to walk along the ocean from the south end of Gold Beach to the north end and get the mail.. Then she would walk back home.  One day she didn't make it back and all the miners joined in the search for her.  All but one!
