The true story of mining camps and every day life in the Gold Rush period
Spanish
Hill - Gold Hill
by Wilson, Blanchard, Lindstrom and Starns
These non-fiction historical vignettes written by archeologists who studied the area, tell the story of Spanish Hill and Hold Hill, two mining camps in El Dorado County, California. Both had similar beginnings in the late 1840's as locales of the California Gold Rush, and both had disappeared from the face of the earth by the end of the 19th century. Their beginnings, their endings and the changes, ultimately, into communities we see today compose these chronicles.
Both the casual reader and the avid historian seeking facts and figures will find this book to be an absorbing account of mining camps and the evolution of mining and the every day life of the Gold Rush period of El Dorado County.
