Result Of Invasion

For hundreds of years, Spanish travelers had tried to discover the mines of the Superstition Mountains area. The interesting thing is that all the men who tried to discover the truth about the mysterious treasure, all failed in their conquests. The reasons could not be found for this. Were there effort not up to the mark? Was it the Thunder God or the Apache people? To prove his countrymen wrong, Don Miguel Peralta, a Spaniard went to the said location to find the gold. However, he did not know that his overconfidence came with a price. The Apache had come to develop a hatred for the Spaniards because of their incessant invasion in their native region. It was during this time in 1845 that the Peralta family, like many others, came to Arizona, looking for gold. Even though they owned a profitable ranch in Sonora, Mexico they decided to get into the gold mining business to make more money. It is said that Don Miguel found the gold mine and that too without any hassle. He was surprised by the fact that he found the place very easily and planned to come again to the place with his troops. However, he could not.
