Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  I te tau 1858, Green Russell me tetahi roopu o nga Georgians, i te rongonga i te korero mo te koura i te Platte ki te Tonga mai i Cherokee i muri i to ratou hokinga mai i California, ka tiimata ki te keri i te rohe i whakaahuatia e ratou. I taua raumati i whakatuhia e ratou he puni maina Auraria (i tapaina mo te puni maina koura i Georgia) i te huihuinga o te South Platte me Cherry Creek. I wehe atu nga Georgians ki to raatau whenua i te hotoke e whai ake nei. I Bent's Fort i te taha o te Awa o Arkansas, ka korero a Russell ki a William Larimer, Jr., he kaituku whenua o Kansas, mo te koura placer i kitea e ratou. I te kitenga o Larimer i te whai wāhitanga ki te whakamahi i te reira, ka hohoro ia ki Auraria. I te marama o Noema 1858, i kii ia ki tetahi rohe i tawahi o Cherry Creek mai i Auraria ka tapaina ko "Denver City" hei whakanui i a James W. Denver, te kawana o te rohe o Kansas. Kaore a Larimer i te whakaaro ki te keri koura ia ano; i hiahia ia ki te whakatairanga i te taone hou me te hoko kaainga ki nga kaimahi maina hihiri.  Pātai: Kei hea a Bent Fort?
