GOLD MINING IN NORTH
GEORGIA
Nickerson, William Emery.
Commonplace book and scrap book. 1870’s - 1880’s. Folio, calf
backed boards. Large folio stock share book from the Beacon Gold
Mining Company onto the pages of which are pasted numerous
clippings and ephemera on his wide-ranging ambitions as an
inventor and entrepreneur in both the United States and Europe. A
graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nickerson
was primarily an engineer and inventor who established himself in
northern Georgia where he operated a saw mill at Canton, dredging
with his own invented equipment, for gold at the same time. These
activities led to ideas which he sought to patent and finance;
viz. machinery for manufacturing saws, plumbing fixtures and
distilling equipment. Amid the many patent papers, clippings, news
clips and wedding announcements of various members of his family,
there are business receipts, patent instruction booklets, and
fragments of his correspondence. He was a religious man and held
strong opinions which he shared with famous evangelists such as
Dwight L. Moody. Approximately 100 items. I.D.#00401.
