Plumas County: History of the Feather River Region

The expanisive national forests, craggy canyons, sparkling waterways, and expansive meadows of Plumas County lie along the union of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountain ranges in northeastern California. Native home to the Maidu tribe and settled by Euro-American gold seekers, Plumas County evolved as an industrial fulcrum of the Feather River watershed and is a treasured reminder of the strength of the pioneering spirit. Jim Young, former history professor and member of the Plumas County Museum Association and Plumas County Historical Society, is the author of several history books. This volume boasts an extensive and compelling narrative of this northeastern locale. The most comprehensive work on Plumas County since Fariss and Smith's 1882 History of Plumas County. Bibliography, index, black and white photos. Paperbound: 159 pages: 6.75 x 9.75"
