Take a journey with me, back to California's golden days. As the sun rises over the ghost town of Bodie, if you really listen, you can still hear the clink clank of the breakfast dishes barely audible amid the ever present pounding from the mighty Standard Mill, crushing the precious quartz. The search for gold is never sleeping. Get to know the people from our own past while reading Bodie: The Golden Years. The book is a fictional portrayal of the pioneer women and children of the 1860-1900 era. What did they wear? Where did they go to school? Who were these early hardy folk? Like a stage ride through the western days you will get introduced to several real life characters--Elizabeth and Helen Anne Kernohan, Margaret and Alice Beck, Suzy Bill, Delilah and Jessie (Doll) Cain. To add dimension I have added a fictionalized Chinese resident, Pearl Chung.
