1839 BIRTH: MO,Sullivan Co-near Scottsville: Columbus Thurlo was born 28 April 1839

1839-1860 HIST: Descendants of John & Abigail Thurlo pg 8-1 [this paragraph in "Browning Missouri Centennial Celebration 1872-1972" pg 142]: "Columbus, the 8th child, was born April 28, 1839 only a few months after the family arrived in Linn Co from Ohio. He is reported to have been the first white child born in an area of Linn Co that was to have become Sullivan Co at its formation Feb. 16, 1845.
Browning pg 142: "He grew to manhood on the family farm, which was part of the area now included in the Maurice Lantz farm..."
Descendants pg 8-1: "His life as a youth was the hard life of a pioneering farmer in a sparsely populated land, where land must be cleared for farming and each farm had to be almost self sufficient. His formal education left a lot to be desired but his practical knowledge had few equals. During his lifetime he engaged in numerous occupations and apparently prospered in all..."

1860 CENSUS: MO,Sullivan Co,Scottsville PO, 10 Aug pg737, Dw 786: Columbus Thurlo age 21 bn Missouri, farmhand, son of John and Mary A Thurlo

1860-1866 HIST: Descendants cont'd: "...When he was about 21 he left the farm and headed west by wagon train, with 4 yoke of oxen, to Nevada, probably with his older brother Henry. After about a year, he went to California, where he engaged in teaming and other kindred pursuits for about 2 years, including gold mining.
Browning Centennial... pg 145: "Mr Thurlo and his brother, Henry did hunting and trapping in Carroll County and bought some land there. He spent 4 years leading wagon trains to the gold fields of California. One winter was spent paning gold in the mountains near Sacramento. On his return trip to Missouri, he traveled by boat down the west cost of Panama and about the place where the Panama Canal was built, walked across to a lake. He he secured boat passage across, walking again on the other side to the ocean. Again he secured ocean p[assage and traveled to New York. From there, he returned overland to Missouri..."
In his later years, Columbus enjoyed telling others of his experiences as a youth. One such story appearing in the Centennial Edition of the Browning Newspaper (now out of business) is worth repeating here, in part.
He and his older brother Henry were returning from the gold fields by way of a water route full of adventurous interest as well as the history of conditions of the time, and of the mode of transportation.
They left San Francisco in a "side wheeler" steamboat (propellers were unknown at that time). The ship ran into a storm about 400 miles off the coast of Mexico and blew a cylinder head. The boat sprang a leak and the entire crew and part of the passengers were employed in pumping out the ship. They drifted for about 12 hours until the storm subsided and repairs could be made. The passengers were embarked in Nicaragua and crossed the Isthmus by river and on mules. While in Nicaragua they dined (reluctantly probably) on soup made of monkey meat. (Columbus said that close examination revealed monkey hair floating on top of the soup) After crossing the Isthmus, they took another ship to New York where they boarded a train to Cincinnati. From Cincinnati,they
took a boat on the Ohio River to the Mississippi, then up the Missouri from St Louis to Brunswick. The remainder of the trip to Browning and home was horseback. One report states that this entire trip consumed only 30 days.
After his return from the gold fields about 1866, he entered (homesteaded? My dictionary defines entered as "to go upon in order to take legal possession of land") some land, bought more and engaged in farming and stock raising...
