Auburn; the county seat of Placer County; was founded during the Gold Rush in 1848. Unlike many such towns in the Mother Lode; Auburn has remained a vibrant and growing town ever since. This citys relevance since the initial influx of gold seekers is due in part to its location at a nexus of transportation routes; both old and new. Halfway between San Francisco and Reno and at an elevation of just over 1;000 feet--above the fog and below the snow--Auburn is a very attractive place to live. Furthermore; it is a place with sincere respect for its roots; as evidenced by its restored old town; preserved courthouse building; and other historic structures throughout town.

Its well written and wonderfully illustrated. I opened the book to a random page upon receiving it and looking me in the face was a picture of my mother as a 5-yr old sitting on the lawn with her brothers and a goat. Amazing!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
