Fascinating look at the Gold Rush period in OregonBy AudreyDennis Powerss latest Book Gold Hill is among the Images of America series that also includes other Oregon towns. Gold Hill seems so peaceful these days; but it hasnt always been that way. During the gold rush days; the town was booming and noisy: a miner could become a millionaire with just one lucky strike (and some actually did); but most didnt; and the books images paint the scene of not only those who were lucky; or not; and who also acquired large land holdings; but the women and families who also tamed the town. We see the time when Gold Hill was the "place to be" with its saloons; outdoor dance halls; and opera house when Gold Hill was "wet" (liquor was available) and nearby Medford which was "dry" (meaning no liquor was available; at least not legally). The book of primarily images with captions takes you through the colorful accounts from the pioneer families to the discovery of gold; and from the towns development to images of fire and flood that nearly destroyed the town. There are numerous images of Gold Hill (from Foots Creek to Sams Valley) with class pictures; picnics; baseball games; massive mining equipment; and much more describing how folks really lived in those days. Altogether; the book provides real and interesting insights to local Oregon history.Dennis Powers also generously donated his time and all of the proceeds from the book sales to the Gold Hill Historical Society and its support.
