Customer Reviews

EXCELLENT RESEARCH

I read this book several years ago. As a writer, who enjoys "early California-Irish history," I was impressed by the diligent work of G. Williams. This book is a caring, thoughtfull book, covering many aspects of mining history -- complete with colorful characters like rosa may.

Just what I was looking for

I had read and commented on: The Guide to Bodie and Eastern Sierra Historic Sites (Western Americana History Series): by George Williams and became interested enough to buy this book. I feel I now have a better idea of life in Bodie during the late 1800's and early 1900's, and I have learned a great deal about Mr. Williams and his early tries at being an author. I intend to return to Bodie next summer and if the occasion arises I would like to meet Mr. Williams. Any one who can write a book so compelling that I finished it in two settings must be an interesting man to know. I also want to go to Rosa May's grave and see if I too can sense the compelling interest in Rosa May that Mr. Williams felt when he first went there. Don Gerue

An insightful Story!

George Williams did an excellent job on reserching this amazing woman! A true story of a woman who made mistakes and in the end, helped people risking her own life and then paying for it. She will definatly find a way into the readers heart.
