Woodleaf Legacy
The Story of a California Gold Rush Town

by Rosemarie Mossinger

A captivating saga of California's bygone days, this book tells the story of Woodleaf, a small town in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

“The ancient land of the Maidu and the traditions of ten thousand years were overrun by fur traders and mingled with the dreams of pioneers searching for new homes. Add to this story the age-old tale of the greed for gold, and a remarkable saga unfolds. From the pages of diaries, letters, handwritten deeds and photographs, we glimpse moments in the lives of those who walked these hills and called them home.”

Illustrated with more than 200 photographs, wood engravings, lithographs, drawings, and maps; comprehensive notes; bibliography; index.

“Exhaustively researched...a most engaging
and readable style.”
DeWitt Whistler Jayne, Professor Emeritus,
