Soft Cover/Stapled. Condición: Near Fine. 3rd Edition, First Thus. Text/BRAND NEW; showing faint margin discoloration. Illustrated gold (of course) stapled soft cover/NF w/spotty discoloration. An intimate record of a gold mining town, illustrated with archival photos, reconstructed from family records, newspaper articles, and records of the Burton Bros. mining company. Topico Hill, outside of from Rosamond and some 50 miles north of Los Angeles, was long a resting spot for travelling Piute and Mojave Indians. Seams of red-colored clay lured Ezra Hamilton of the Los Angeles Pottery Company to the region. When Los Angeles' building boon fell to depression in the nineties, Hamiliton began panning for gold and struck it rich on what is known as Hamilton Hill. Already "homesteaded" was Charles Graves, an African-American from Kentucky, who extended hospitality and shared his lodgings; the Hamilton's will share the stake with Graves. Mining machinery idled in 1956; author Glen settle began conducting tours to mining tunnels then. A vignette awaiting a fuller portrait.
