Nuggets of Nevada County History


by
Juanita Kennedy Browne
Nuggets of Nevada County History begins in 1848 and plunges recklessly right through 1899 to cover such exciting, interesting, humorous, controversial, and tragic Nevada County historical events and personalities as:  
How Rough and Ready, Humbug Little York, Red Dog, Wallop and you Bet got their usual names.
Lola Montez, Lotta Crabtree, Emma Nevada, Felix Gillet, Lyman Gilmore, the Never Come, Never Go Railroad, the Union Newspaper, the Empire mine, and the Malakorr Hydraulic diggins.
Paradise in Chicago Park and butter, beer ice and carnivals in Truckee.  
The beginning of the end of the Nisenan Indians.  John Rollin Ridge starts the legend of Joaquin Marietta.  The beginning of the Comstock rush, the end of hydraulic mining, and looking backward and forward in 1899.
All these event and personalities and many more are illustrated by more than 50 historical photographs and are written about the compassion and humor in a style that is lively and straightforward.
