Ghost Towns & Mining Camps of California. Nadeau, Remi

Item Details

Description

Ghost Towns and Mining Camps of California. Nadeau, Remi. First edition. Los Angeles: Ward Ritchie Press, (1965). Illustrated with photographs and maps. “In 1849, the California Gold Rush...swept the American frontier...[resulting in] canvas, log and clapboard houses [mushrooming] in the Sierra foothills...[They were] just as quickly swept away by devastating fires...producing rock and brick structures in the 1850s that still stand in the camp areas today. [These structures are depicted here through] rare daguerreotypes and other early photographs...many being seen for the first time in book form. Also included are maps and directions for finding even the remotest ghost towns.” -from the dust jacket.
