Description: A book about living in North Lake Tahoe; hard winters, hiking, skiing, exploring small communities from the California Gold Rush period, nearby Nevada mining and desert places as well as those in the Sierra Nevada mountains... Far beyond the tourist-related attractions of the region, it is that one place in the west where emigrants made their way by wagon, horse and on foot across the always trecherous Sierra's, and where the first transcontinental railroad route in the U.S. was completed. Nearly everywhere you set foot in the region - on or off trail, there's evidence of the history. Within 50 miles of Lake Tahoe, the discovery of gold left a colorful human history in its wake and enough mines it would take a lifetime to investigate them. The book contains 131 images (in color) and can be previewed and purchased from Google's Ebook store.
