Annotation |
Inspired by her family's history, the author compiled this history of Bodie from newspaper articles and interviews with former residents. The Gold Rush town thrived from 1960 until World War II, when gold mining stopped, and it gradually became a ghost town. Sprague documents the stories, legends, and everyday lives of the town's citizens. 2003.
