The Northern Mines, Factual Narratives of the Counties of Nevada, Placer, Sierra, Yuba, and Portions of Plumas and Butte, Edmund Kinyon, Signed by Author, The Union Publishing Co., Grass Valley-Nevada City, 1949, First Edition, Rare. Fold-out "Gold Rush Map, The Northern Mines," 1849 and later, end of book, and many other illustrations throughout. The book highlights the Northern Mines, which according to the author, had not received the press that the Southern Mines had. "In their intense preoccupation with the California Gold Rush and the bustling industrial and business life that mushroomed in its wake, historians have too often neglected that somewhat less sensational part of the story which deals with the development of quartz mining," said Wayland D. Hand, Editor Journal of American Folklore, in the Foreword. Kinyon, a veteran newspaper writer of 35 years, said in his preface that writing the book was "a desire to rescue the incidents from impending oblivion."167 pp. 6" x 9". Protective case slightly faded, otherwise fine. [ California
