This is an old revision of the document!
George Boswell (d. ~1893)
George Boswell was hauling freight on the north fork of the Coeur d’Alene River in Idaho in 1888. He lost his teams in a poker game at the same time he received a letter from his brother Thomas Boswell. Thomas had just arrived in San Francisco from the Stewart River where he had recovered $6,000 in gold dust. George tried to get Ray Stewart to go north with him but both of them had suffered losses in the poker game. George joined his brother Thomas in the north in 1889 and died there three or four years later.1)
