California's official Gold Rush ghost town lives again in this vivid account. The Bodie Mining District was established in 1860 after the discovery of gold deposits in the area. The boom ended just twenty years later, and the town began its long, slow decline, surviving into the twentieth century as a small town supported by a few small but steady mines. Mining ended with World War II. What remained of the town became a state park in 1964. In "Bodie's Gold," author Marguerite Sprague uncovers the original sources for information whenever possible, from the first mining claims to interviews with Bodieites alive today. Sprague has traced several popular Bodie legends back to their original sources, leading to revisions of beloved myths, more details about some others, and a few interesting new stories. Enhanced with numerous historic photographs and quotations from newspapers of that period, as well as by the reminiscences of former residents, "Bodie's Gold" offers a fascinating account
Editorial : From the Inside Flap The silent streets and uninhabited buildings that greet today's visitors to Bodie, California's quintessential ghost town, belie the town's colorful past and the full and varied lives of its former residents. In "Bodie's Gold", author Marguerite Sprague uses a wide range of historic documents and recent interviews with surviving Bodieites to bring this former boomtown back to life. The Bodie Mining District was established in 1860 after the discovery of several small gold deposits in the area. The big boom did not begin until 1878, however, when new discoveries and the arrival of highly capitalized mining companies made possible the exploitation of Bodie's significant mineral wealth. For a time, the town's population grew by ten people a day, the mines extracted several million dollars worth of gold, and Bodie flourished. What grew there was in many ways a collection of contradictions--an isolated town in the midst of the Eastern Sierra high desert, dusty in summer
Unfortunately, all the different 'germ zapper' cells look like sunny side up eggs with bright blue yolks and pale blue 'whites.' The 'whites' of the dendritic cells are more star shaped which helps differentiate them but otherwise the germ zappers lack distinguishing marks. It is these people who may benefit from a more holistic approach to dance that helps them reconnect with early childhood experiences. A successful defense against Governor Provost's clumsy attack upon Sacketts Harbor in 1813 quickly marked Brown as one of the few American generals able to best British regulars. The recipes list the basic nutritional information: serving size, total calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, sodium, and fiber. But, I did find "cooling system." Now, this is verbatim from the manual: "2. I have my reservations recommending this book to a new student. It's like beating that dead horse over and over again. This is an awesome book! I love it!
