Fiddletown and Copperopolis: The Life and Times of an Uncommon Carrier by Carl Fallberg is a historical non-fiction book that tells the story of a unique and little-known aspect of American transportation history. The book follows the life and adventures of a man named George W. Luce, who was a freight carrier in the mid-1800s in the California foothills.Luce was known for his unconventional methods of transportation, which included using mules, wagons, and even rafts to transport goods between the mining towns of Fiddletown and Copperopolis. The book explores the challenges and dangers that Luce faced on his journeys, including treacherous terrain, bandits, and unpredictable weather.Through Luce's story, the book also provides a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived and worked in the California foothills during the Gold Rush era. The author uses historical documents and interviews with descendants of Luce and other local residents to paint a vivid picture of this unique time and place in American history.Overall, Fiddletown and Copperopolis is a fascinating and informative book that will appeal to anyone interested in American history, transportation, or the pioneering spirit of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
