BRANDS OF CALAVERAS COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 1854-1880
Brands of Calaveras County, California 1854-1880 explores the earliest brands recorded in one of California's original counties, beginning just after the Gold Rush. Yet what emerges from these pages is not just a story of brands, largely for livestock, but also a story of families--of heritage and emigration, births and deaths, marriages and children, success and failure. Taken together, the 245 brand filings included in its 376 pages, filled with vintage pioneer photographs, many never before published, also tell another story, that of the early years of a rural California county. For those fascinated by early California, brands of the Old West, and/or ranching in America, Brands of Calaveras County, California 1854-1880 is a rare volume that depicts history through the brands associated with one county's ranchers.
Brands of Calaveras County, California 1854-1880 was authored by local historian Salvatore John Manna and Calaveras County Archivist Shannon Dixon Van Zant. The first publication from Calaveras History Publishing, a division of the Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History, Brands of Calaveras County, California 1854-1880 may be the first book of its kind in publishing history.
