There are several popular stories of the beginning of Georgia’s gold rush, but in fact, no one is really certain who made the first discovery or when. According to one story, John Witherwoods found a three-ounce nugget along Duke’s Creek in White County. Another says that Jesse Hogan, a prospector from North Carolina, found gold on Ward’s Creek near Dahlonega. Yet another finds a young Benjamin Parks kicking up an unusual stone while on the lookout for deer west of the Chestatee River in 1828. Regardless of who actually found the first gold, once word got out about the discovery, the first major gold rush in U. S. history began in the hills of North Georgia and the Cherokee Indians’ time in Georgia was coming to an end. Based on the passage, what was a cause for Indian removal from Georgia?
