NCHS Bulletin January 2008 in California. Starting in the mid-1850s, he had been absent from Grass Valley for years at a time. His engagement to Abbie Robinson, daughter of a man in whose house he boarded, stretched to almost five years, and immediately after the wedding he went East to raise capital for a company to work the Austin strike. Morse finally “made a killing” on the Black Bear Mine in the Siskiyou country.”* Notes: 1. Gleason’s Pictorial Drawing Room Companion," p. 112, undated. 2.
