This article describes a tragic accident in Central City, Colorado in the early 1860s. "Once started in them at Nevada, a sled, unchecked, would fly to Black Hawk without giving one time to say "goodday” to any acquaintance he might pass in Central. It was like being shot out of a catapult or dropped down an elevator-shaft."
