          Today I want to talk about the Cariboo gold rush of 1858. Which began when gold was discovered in the frontier边界, 边境town of Quesnel(K-NEL) Forks in the Canada province省, 州; 乡间; 地方; 领域 of British of Columbia. By 1861 thousands of men had flocked to the region hoping to strike it rich. Naturally, as the town grew, supplies had to be brought in, and this was done with mules骡; 杂交动物; 固执的人.

          Now the mules were quite reliable可靠的, 可信赖的, but there were some drawbacks不利点, 退税. For example, a mule carrying a heavy load could travel only 15 miles in a day --- meaning that a typical trip into Quesnel could take as long as 20 days.

I know that sounds strange, but camel trains had been used quite effectively during the California gold rush some 10 years earlier.

         But the results in the Cariboo region weren't quite the same. In fact it was a disaster. The camels couldn't carry the heavier loads the merchants expected them to. Their two-toed feet were perfect for desert travel, but they weren't suited for Cariboo's rugged高低不平的, 粗糙的, 崎岖的mountain terrain地带, 地形, 地域. To make matters worse, the mules became very agitated使激动; 搅动; 使焦虑; 摇动; 鼓动; 煽动whenever they came across a camel --- and that caused a lot of accidents on the treacherous背叛的, 奸诈的, 背信弃义的mountain trails. The mule packers went so far as to threaten the camel owners with a lawsuit诉讼, 控诉. But the reason the merchants finally got rid of the camels is because these animals simply weren't cut out for the job.

0 \, s9 {- E6 E" m+ Z- w           And as we enter this next gallery, please turn your attention to the statue on your right， It's a bust 半身像of the seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson. He was done by American sculptor雕刻家 Hiram Powers. Mr. Powers is particularly significant to our sculpture collection here at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He’s statue entitled California was the first work by an American artist to become part of the collection at the Met. But back to this piece. When Powers was modeling this bust, he asked the President, who was 68 years old at the time, if he wanted to be made to appear younger than that. President Jackson replied that he didn't; so as you can see, he's shown here with wrinkles皱纹 and lines of aging老化; 成熟的过程 etched蚀刻 on his face." g. W# a* Q$ i) G: K
         Consequently结果, 必然地, 因此, this bust is considered to be one of the most realistic portrayals描绘; 饰演; 描写; 肖像 of Andrew Jackson. Powers traveled from his studio工作室, 画室; 摄影室; 雕塑室; 照相馆 in Italy to the White House to do the original study for the bust. He did the study in clay, cut he sculpted the final statue from fine Italian marble大理石, 雕刻品, 石弹, as you can see I should add that the usual practice at the time was to get local artisans to do the actual carving of the marble. Note that the President is draped in a Roman toga. This is because in the nineteenth century that was the customary attire衣着, 服装; 盛装 for representations代表, 代理; 表示, 表现 of heads of state and other important figures. Powers kept the bust in his studio until after President Jackson's death, when it was sold to the Democratic Club in New York City. It was lent to us here at the Met in 1874 and twenty years later became part of our permanent collection. Now, if you'll step this way, we'll move on to the next piece.
