Book Review

Calaveras Gold: The Impact of Mining on a Mother Lode County. By Ronald H. Limbaugh and Willard P. Fuller, Jr. (Reno: University of Nevada Press, 2004. ix + 404 pp. Illustrations, charts, glossary, appendix, notes, bibliography, index. $39.95.)

Historian Ronald Limbaugh and mining geologist Willard Fuller have authored an economic history of Calaveras County, California, focused on the discovery and development of its mineral resources. Besides the celebrated gold of this southern mother lode county, miners have extracted copper, silver, asbestos, talc, sand and aggregate, and limestone used in a cement industry ultimately more valuable to the county than its gold. The authors also describe the lumbering first undertaken in support of mining, but later a significant industry in itself.
