Brief History of The Holy Smoke Camp: Located 1 mile northwest of Keystone in Buckeye Gulch, the area was first inhabited by a Fred Cross as early as the 1870's. The Vulcan Mining Group, of which the Holy Smoke is part, originally occupied 102 acres of gold, silver and copper deposits and was founded by the colorful Col. Clark was so intrigued with the naming of Keystone's notorious "Holy Terror"

mine, that he named the property "The Holy Smoke". Ore was located in this area in Pre-Cambrian Schist and Quartzite and two shafts were sunk at the 85 and 106 foot levels. Popular author Stewart Edward White came to the Holy Smoke in the late 1800's dressed like a miner and leading a pack mule. Here he stayed in a log cabin and wrote three best selling novels- "The Westerners," "The High Graders," and "The Claim Jumpers." Working as paymaster in one of the local mines, White was almost hung by mistake over a wage dispute. He left the Holy Smoke and went to Arizona and became a well-known author of Western Semi-Fiction.

❤️🖤💚 Happy Juneteenth!

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, commemorating June 19, 1865—the day freedom finally reached the last enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is a time to honor resilience, reflect on our nation's history, and celebrate the ongoing pursuit of liberty, equality, and opportunity for all.

As we gather with family and friends, let us remember the importance of freedom and the strength that comes from unity and understanding.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and joyful Juneteenth.

🇺🇸 This Day in History – June 10, 1776 🇺🇸
On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress appointed a committee to draft a declaration explaining why the American colonies sought independence from Great Britain. The committee included future Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston.
Just 24 days later, their work would become the foundation of the Declaration of Independence, changing the course of American history forever.

250 years ago, the road to independence took a decisive turn.

June 7, 1776 – Richard Henry Lee introduced the Lee Resolution to the Continental Congress, declaring that the colonies "are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States." This was the first formal step toward the United States Declaration of Independence adopted less than a month later on July 4.
