| 14970 | Niagara Gazette - 11/11/1932 WILSON, Nov. 11-Among the thinning ranks of the G. A. R. veterans can be found one who has the double honor of being not only a survivor of the Civil War but also of the Oregon gold rush. Such a colorful and Interesting character Is George Swick, Who tomorrow will be 92 years old. He was born In Hector, Tompkins county. His parents were John Swick and Maria Fulkerson. He came to live in Niagara county at the age of eight, living first in Newfane and later on the Town Line road here, on what Is known as the William Rohring farm at the corner of Chestnut street and finally on South Ridge. Mr. Swick has one daughter. Mrs. Frank Smith, twp grandchildren, Lloyd Smith and Mrs. Herman Schultz, and five great-grandchildren. Suffers Injury About ten years ago Mr. Swick had the misfortune to break his left leg. The member never properly knitted and It has-been necessary for him to use crutches since. He drives his own car, however, and gets a great deal of pleasure out of life. He will tell you In his own whimsical way as he hooks the unknltted left leg over his right shoulder, that he -had to be examined by 13 doctors before he was given the merited pension. At the age of 20 Mr. Swick entered the Union army and for 26 months saw active duty in the 28th N. Y. Infantry, which left from Lockport. He testifies to the well known fact that war Is no playtime. He did learn to live out-of-doors, however, and that proved a handy accomplishment when he started for Oregon. Mr. Swlck's company practiced strict economy, living In Albany on 24 cents a day. Turn In Food It reflected great credit upon his company to be able to receive a $100 refund from the government for surplus rations returned in one month. Mr. Swick was also granted $7.50 for rations while on a month's furlough. What to him was one of the longest days ever spent- was when he was on that particular furlough and had to wait over all day Sunday because no trains were run on the Sabbath. In 1864 Mr. Swick married Martha Rogers. He says she received $1 a week for doing house work and arose at three on Monday so as to get the family's wash out before dinner time. He contrasts that with conditions four years ago when he paid a woman $25 a week to do the work for Mrs. Swick and himself and that did not Include the laundry. Start West One of Mr. Swlck's neighbors went to Oregon, became conscious of the possibilities open there, came east for his wife and induced several, including Mr. Swick, to return with him. In April of the year that marked Lincoln's assassination, with his covered wagons and three saddle horses as their equipment, they started along with many others to make, their fortunes. The Journey took three months and they passed over 14 states. Mr. Swick takes great pride in saving his wagon was hand made by a Lockport wagon-maker. They covered 25 miles as a good day's travel. When asked If they had to wait over because of Illness, he said. no. Mr. Swick said the party bought 10 gallons of whiskey, five gallons of gin and five gallons of wine before leaving Lockport. This did not worry him. however, and he Is. and always has been, strictly temperate. They followed the Overland Stage Route, but those stages often had four or six horses. Each night brought ward the duty of finding unstable lodging, where water and fuel could be obtained easily. Near Disaster What might have proved a disaster came to them when they attempted to cross the Mississippi river on a horse-boat A big tree, floating down stream became entangled and carried boat, horses and all down the river It took them all day and all night to get righted. They found places where the railroad tracks were torn out by the rebels and met Indians of many tribes. The Snake Indians, contrary to their name, were fine looking, good dressers and their chief could talk "white." Along the route were buffalo bones, a reminder of their former presence. The caravan had sort of misjudged their financial dexterity and when they reached Idaho they, to use Mr. Swick's words, "were broke and had to borrow $1,000 from a Brother Mason." This was occasion for Mr. Swick to stop In his narration and pay tribute to the Masons. In Utah they met some, but not serious, trouble with the Mormons, who resented their intrusion. Had Graft Then Even then graft existed. An amusing incident of it was found when the fortune hunters came to a stream with a bridge part way over and a swamp on the other side. A fee of $10 was charged to use the bridge and another $10 fee to be helped over the swamp. They decided to wait until the whole thing dried rather than pay the price. While putting their time In they discovered farther up stream a complete bridge with no fee whatever attached to its use and they went on rejoicing. And this covered wagon was not without its romance. An old maid and bachelor of the party had Just entered matrimony when they attempted to cross a stream. Midway the box of the buggy, containing the bridal couple, moved off the frame and floated away. "Then," Mr. Swick said, "we had to stop and fish them out." Nevertheless, after all their stops and drawbacks they were able to overtake those who started out traveling every day. The horses could not endure such steady traveling. When they came to cross the Wood River they saw two very frightened Chinese stranded In the center. Neither could swim. In Mr. Swlck's party was a horse that could. It was ridden out and the grateful Chinese grasped its tail and were dragged ashore. Stolen Horses Acquaintance with the Wood Indians was unusual to say the least. Two of them had beautiful horses that they wanted to swap for shirts like the white man wore. This was done. Later It developed that the Indians had stolen the horses, for their owners were found and the animals returned. Mr. Swick is not in a position to state as to whether the shirts were ever returned, but he believes not. They finally reached Oregon and settled near the Snake River. Mr. Swick and his partner bought and paid $30 for a log cabin. And as far as he knows they own it yet. The next morning after they arrived they began work. Gold was the article of exchange. Not even a tax could be paid In greenbacks. The gold was weighed and used on a scale of $20 an ounce. Idaho gold was worth only about $14. Those who were accustomed to handling It could tell at a glance If It were Oregon or Idaho gold. It was dug with a pick and shovel and looked like yellow sand. Slow Process The washing process was a tedious but interesting one. One day as Mr. Swick and one of the men were visiting during a rest time, the man suddenly Jumped down and picked up. a chunk of sand. Upon close Inspection It was found to be natural gold worth $20. Such pieces were not common, although Mr. Swick had two smaller ones. He had one made into a neck tie pin and the other into a lady's breast pin. Unfortunately, both these have been lost. The postofflce was 40 miles away so that home folks were not heard from very often. Mr. Swick says that had his family been there he would have remained. But when after two years the others came away he, too, became restless and returned east. He Intended to go back, but never did. Recently he found a package of old letters, written by him, and sent to Mrs. Swick while he was in Oregon. He admits enjoying to the fullest ex tent reading and reliving events that had been long forgotten. Dangerous Journey The journey home was a long and a perilous one. He traveled 160 miles by stage and then down the Columbia River to Portland, and by steamer to San Francisco. Here he missed the boat and had to wait ten days for another. It was a fortunate miss because neither that boat nor anyone on board were ever heard from again. Mr. Swick measures time by saying he was seven Sundays on the home Journey. There was no Panama Canal, so the Isthmus was crossed on a mule. The heat was intense. When near the North Carolina state coast a terrible storm broke. The boat was small, yet was 16 feet above water. The wind took the wheel house off and they were left to drift for 30 hours. Mr. Swick hung with his arms clasped around a projector on the boat. He said he vowed then and there If he ever got off the water he'd never go on it again. However, he did come up from Florida a few years ago, but how different were the appointments on that boat. Grateful, Indeed, were they when they finally landed in New York City. The remainder of the distance was traveled by rail. Some Were Robbed When asked how much of a fortune he gathered. Mr. Swick said, "That's something I never tell anyone." He added, however, that more than one was robbed before reaching home. This happened mostly to those who foolishly showed their gold or money. Mr. Swick never heard from his Oregon companion until recently when In Washington on business with regard to his pension. There he learned that the man had married, lived and died In Idaho. Strange as It seems this same man had been his partner during service In the army. That was when his fate was so readily found out by those In charge of the pension office because he, too, had been granted one. | SWICK, George (I110787)
