A colored sketch of a portion of the Cherokee Trail, a historic overland route starting in what is now the U.S. state of Oklahoma, winding through Kansas and Colorado before joining the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails in Wyoming. It was one of the primary routes used by prospectors in the California Gold Rush. Gold discovered on the route led to the Colorado Gold Rush.Artist: Daniel A. Jenks; Restoration: Lise Broer
