Bodie History,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mining Camp Days (Paperback)
This is a must have book for anyone interested in the early mining camp of Bodie...it is not the beginning of the camp but Emil, a great historian and picture taker lays it all out....he was the son in law of James S. Cain and even tho' from Germany, the man earned his stripes from his boot tops up....his rememberances at the time of writing the book had nary a cloudy memory....
4.0 out of 5 stars
The way things worked, and the way people were,
This review is from: Mining Camp Days (Paperback)
A well-written and highly credible first-hand account of a fascinating era of technological and social change on one of America's last frontiers, by a man with the analytical mind of an engineer leavened by lively human interest. I find this book as enjoyable as it is useful for historical research.
