Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join the Search for Lost Treasure First popularized by folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie in his book Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver in 1928, the legend of the Lost Adams Diggings is one of the most mythologized tales of lost treasure on the continent. In the 1860s, Gold was taken from Adams’ canyon in enormous quantities, with nuggets ranging from dust-size to some as large as hen’s eggs, all being plucked from the bottom of a shallow stream. This true story of the Lost Adams Diggings starts with the discovery of the rich deposit of gold in a remote mountain range, and ends with the author’s own story of search and discovery in the twentieth century.

Download or read book American River Canyon written by Rodi Lee and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American River Canyon below Auburn is seen as a natural and scenic area but still contains signs of an extensive historical past. This includes historic bridges and bridge sites dating back to the 1850s. The 1849 Gold Rush brought 75 years of mining that ended after massive dredges worked the river for its gold in the 1910s. Unique to the canyon is the Mountain Quarries Railroad, which traveled its way across 17 trestles and an elegant, still-standing concrete bridge to reach the main line in Auburn. The long-stalled Auburn Dam is the latest incarnation of earlier dams, like the 1890s Birdsall Dam that diverted water for 50 years through the North Fork Ditch to communities downstream.

Download or read book Nootka Sound and the Surrounding Waters of Maquinna written by Heather Harbord and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 1996 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Columbia's history started with one word: "Nutka." On James Cook's earliest maps, it was the sole port of entry to a whole new world. Nootka was the home base of avarice and slaughter as the sea otter was rendered extinct in local waters by American and English traders. It gained further infamy with the enslavement of John Jewitt in 1803. Always it has been the "Land of Maquinna," after the legendary chief of the Mowachahts (historically called the Nootkas). Fifteen years ago it became the discovery of Heather Harbord. The waters of Nootka Sound and the surrounding inlets lured her to their endless coves and hideaways—First Nations villages, abandoned logging camps, Spanish outposts and an ever-changing mosaic of pioneers.

Download or read book River of Gold written by James K. Woodworth and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of stories and photographs of the early Californian, sprinkled with dramatic events which have happened or will happen on the American River. Much as been written about known leaders called the real Americans or the bold Californians. Yet, little has been kept on record of the men only known by their last names, who hacked at the hard rock during the day and died unnoticed during the night. Many of the stories are being related for the first time, perhaps because man is fickle in recording only heroic or tragic incidents of important men. There have been in the past the making of some of the stories of the great life and the dismal death of the little known man. This edition is to give short story sketches of these men and their lives however short.-- Preface.
