Описание: This reminiscence traces Grass Valley and Nevada City from a hydraulic mining boom to a mid‑century, immigrant‑driven economy powered by transportation and electricity. It blends intimate family memories—births, social life at the Kidder Mansion, and frontier legends—with broader histories of a railroad network, road building, and PG&E’s shift to supply power for the Bay Area. It highlights environmental and legal shifts (the Sawyer ruling), the move from hydraulic to hard‑rock mining, deforestation, and later oil, alongside diverse immigrant communities and local landmarks. The narrative ends with mid‑20th‑century changes—the 1960s freeway controversy, ongoing growth amid mining and lumber decline, and a culture rooted in service, farming and forest trades, dances, radio, and nostalgic links to Lake Olympia, the Empire Mine, and regional film/history references.
