They hesitated at no atrocitynecessary to accomplish their guilty designs.Murder with them was resorted to as the mostavailable means of concealing robbery, and thetwo crimes were generally coincident. The country,filled with canons, gulches, and mountainpasses, was especially adapted to their purposes,and the unpeopled distances between miningcamps afforded ample opportunity for carryingthem into execution. "Pack trains and companies,stage coaches and express messengers, were as muchexposed as the solitary traveller, and often selectedas objects of attack. Miners, who had spentmonths of hard labor in the placers in the accumulationof a few hundreds of dollars, were neverheard of after they left the mines to return totheir distant homes. Men were daily and nightlyrobbed and murdered in the camps. There wasno limit to this system of organized brigandage. CHAPTER I— Spanish Intrigues. CHAPTEK II.— Louisiana Purchase.
