Описание: Bernie Zimmerman notes the Nevada County Historical Landmarks Commission’s 50th anniversary in 1969 and its plan to commemorate it by interviewing people connected to local history. The feature centers on David Comstock, a leading local historian and publisher of the Nevada County Chronicles, whose motivation to study the area grew from a lifelong engagement with art. He describes moving to Grass Valley, painting and exploring Nevada County’s decaying places, and becoming a historian as he perceived a rich but fading history that peaked in a 1930s revival before the Depression. Comstock recalls painting scenes of creeks, barns, and schools—such as the French Corral Schoolhouse—while noting locals’ resistance to such imagery and the losses of places like the Brillo House and Tivoli Hotel, underscoring the urgency to document vanishing sites.
