Reprint of the original, first published in 1881.
An entertaining & invaluable book that covers the history of Del Norte County, California, from Civil War times to roughly the turn of the century. Del Norte County is in the northwest corner of the state & is probably one of the least known areas in California. The author, even though not a native of the area, gave to the pioneers of Del Norte County an authentic history of their ancestors. Oscar Lewis in his introduction says "by searching out the records of the pioneer families of the area & by bringing to light the personal reminiscences of many of them, the author & compiler has directed attention to phases of California life rarely touched on in more formal histories," & that "Del Norte County--& incidentally the state as a whole--is fortunate in having, after so many years, found so discerning & wise a historian." There are personal narratives & excerpts from diaries & a section listing family names, with genealogy of original settlers. Read about the gold nugget kept safe under a couch & about "49th State of Jefferson." It is a 6 X 9 hardcover. Price $19.95. To order call Rachel Smith Tomini, Publisher, (707) 668-5667 or write P.O. Box 365, Blue Lake, CA 95525.

However, no pains have been spared to procure the best and most reliable information possible, and I cheerfully acknowledge my obligations to Benj. West, Peter Peveler, Peter Darby, Asa Thompson, W.
