Henry Wickenburg : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Wickenburg
Henry Wickenburg (November 21, 1819 - May 14, 1905) was a Prussian prospector who discovered the Vulture Mine and founded the town of Wickenburg in the U.S. state of Arizona. Wickenburg later in life became a farmer and died penniless despite the fact that the mine that he discovered produced as much as 70 million dollars' worth of gold during its course of operation, making it the most important gold mine in Arizona. ==Early years== Wickenburg (birth name: Johannes Henricus Wickenburg) was born in Essen, Prussia, a coal mining region in what is now Germany. Together with his brother he minded coal on the land which belonged to his family. However, the mineral rights were claimed by the government and Wickenburg immigrated to the United States in 1847, after the local authorities raided the family farm.〔( National Register of Historic Places Inventory )〕
