Question

The inscription on the Thoen Stone allegedly predates one of these events by 40 years. M. F. Stephenson made a public plea to continue one of these events adapted by Mark Twain into its more famous modern form. Christopher Bechtler is best-known for objects produced during one of these events, which predated the first similar objects made by the government by over a decade. A newspaper claimed that one group was “an abused people” as a result of one of these events called the (*) “Great Intrusion.” A federal institution built in response to one of these events operated between 1838-1861 in the town of Dahlonega (“duh-LON-eh-guh”). One of these events (10[1])drew thousands (10[1])of white settlers (10[1])to Cherokee lands in 1829, (10[4]-5[1])prompting the Indian Removal Act. For 10 points, the town of Deadwood was founded by an influx of white settlers during what kind of event in the Black Hills? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: gold rushes [accept Black Hills Gold Rush or Georgia Gold Rush] (The modern version of the M. F. Stephenson quote is “There’s gold in them thar hills.”)
