I was just reading an account very similar to your article on Shepherd Mountain. I came across this while researching Surname Shepherd in Jefferson Co MO.

This news article appeared in The Jefferson Democrat 7 Jul 1871 Hillsboro MO.
Originally appears to have come from the newspaper Ironton Enterprise

Interesting. So is the last name Grady or Golding. The second article also misspells Shepherd. Probably worth checking out the hiking trail and keeping an eye open for anything interesting. If anything it's probably worth the hike just to enjoy the scenery.

I wonder if some of the digging locations were created in search of treasure rather than iron ore.
