Located at the junction of gold-rich ravines; Auburn was the site of the first gold discovery in Placer County. Though the superficial gold was quickly panned out; by 1850; the town had become an important trading center. Auburn became a center for goods; services; entertainment; and a place for miners to "winter-over." More importantly; it became a transportation hub. As the county seat; Auburns hotels; saloons; and merchants experienced a steady stream of customers as county residents came to town to deal with legal matters. Though plagued by numerous destructive fires; the citizens of Auburn rebuilt; and the town continued to thrive. This book will introduce the reader to some of the individuals who were instrumental in shaping Auburn as it grew into the town it is today.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Exquisite PhotographyBy Frank S. StefankoFine art photographer; Eric Meolas new book of Bruce Springsteen photographs; is visually stunning. The book; "Streets of Fire" includes photographs Eric took of Bruce from 1977 to 1979...essentially; the time period after "Born to Run" and during "Darkness on the Edge of Town". The two main stages for these photographs are the American Western Desert and Holmedel; New Jersey in the East. Mr. Meola is a master of color photography; however; his mastery of black and white photography is very evident between the covers of this new work. Prepare to view a young and vibrant Bruce in all his glory at a most important time in the artists life. Along with some valuable text and related Springsteen song lyrics; enjoy going back in time via Erics exquisite photographs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great -- excellent.
