Early 1860s. The prospectors were mostly a combination of disgruntled miners that had failed in the California gold rush and Confederate deserters fleeing the Civil War. The first strike was at Gold Creek between Garrison and Dearlodge, but the rush quickly moved south to Nevada City and Virginia City. Helena, the state capital, was the site of one of the largest strikes and triggered its own gold rush in 1864.
