A substantial and detailed regional history of Sierra County, California, forming Volume VI of Sinnott’s multi-volume series on the area. Richly illustrated with period photographs (including mining scenes, structures, and local landmarks) and maps of roads, settlements, and the Yuba River system. Includes material on early mining operations, pioneer families, transportation routes, and the development of towns such as Downieville and Goodyears Bar.

Volumes from this series were issued in relatively small print runs and are increasingly sought after, particularly in signed examples.
