...French observers see an additional reason: with a ceasefire, De Gaulle is committed to release from prison Mohammed ben Bella and four other F.L.N. Cabinet members who were captured in 1956 when the pilot of their plane was tricked into landing on French territory.

Next year, after word of new gold strikes in Arizona, "Big Mike" Goldwater hitched up his mule team and set off as a peddler serving the miners' camps. Frontier business proved prosperous; in 1860, Mike put up a trading post at Ehrenberg, a riverside site he named for a family friend.
