Summary: Excellent Chronicle of Life In A Mining Town
Comment: This account is educational, to be sure, but it's also a hoot to read about all of the colorful characters. I've been to Bodie (located in the Eastern Sierras -- one of the most underrated and beautiful places on Earth), but even someone who's never encountered this sublime patch of California high desert will empathize with the human drama of our ancestoral pioneers.
Rating: 5
Summary: Compelling California history, with heart!
Comment: This is an excellent book, obviously a work of intense research and profound appreciation for the town and people of Bodie, California. The author touches upon myriad aspects of the town's development and decline, including anthropology, technology, and geology. The book also deals with the human side of this hard-scrabble community, and includes many personal reflections of actual Bodieites. The author also infuses the book with a unique sense of humor, which perfectly suits the subject matter. Highly recommended!
