Description:
"An outstanding work, bringing together views of California cities, towns, and mining camps in the decade following the gold discovery. Six of the views show towns in Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Each illustration has an accompanying page of explanatory text by Douglas Watson. The typography for the book was designed by Edwin Grabhorn ,though it was not printed by the Grabhorns. Instead, the printing and 'lithotones' are by A. Carlisle & Company, the successors to the prolific San Francisco printing firm of Britton & Rey, who were responsible for many of the originals depicted herein"--
