NORTHERN CALAVERAS COUNTY
The only history book including West Calaveras features 128 pages of photography and text. Northern Calaveras County (Arcadia Publishing, 2007) stretches eastward from the valley towns of Wallace and Jenny Lind, through the Campo Seco and Mokelumne Hill gold country, to the county seat in San Andreas and finally extends to the upcountry mining camps and logging settlements of West Point and Railroad Flat. Historian Judith Marvin, archeologist Julia Costello, and writer Salvatore Manna, with the assistance of local geologists, ranchers, researchers, and descendants of pioneer families, present vintage photographs from the files of the Calaveras County Historical Society, Calaveras County Archives, Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History, Mokelumne Hill History Society, family archives and elsewhere to paint a fascinating portrait of one of California’s most storied counties, from prehistory to the Gold Rush to the 21st century.
