September 20 – A 5-month virtual road trip along the California TrailThe Henness Pass and Nevada City roads led to Grass Valley. According to the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce website (https://www.grassvalleychamber.com/community/history/), Grass Valley was the largest gold producing region in California. You may also find the Empire Mine State Historical Park (https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=499) an interesting place to visit in this region. You’ll also find a historical marker (GPS coordinates -121.060, 39.218), described on the Historical Marker Database (https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=45126) and seen in the accompanying photo from that page, commemorating the Grass Valley Chinatown which it states was “second only to San Francisco’s.” Helen Carpenter (https://octa-journals.org/merrill-mattes-collection/…) ended her journey to California in Grass Valley. On October 7, 1857 she wrote, “Three miles from the last bridge we came to Sockumville on Brush Creek. This is the mine that George is interested in and our destination. A little way back from the bank of the creek, and in among some big pine trees, are a lot of miners cabins, they are all one room domiciles of boards with battened cracks, and stick chimneys. They face the road, the diggins and the hill side beyond and in each is a miner who not only puts in regular hours in the mines but does his own cooking and washing. One of the miners lived in a little white house up on the hill side, and his wife in a most friendly way came and invited Penny and me to ‘take tea’ with her, and she would not take no for an answer, so we went although we were not ‘hankering for tea’ – Corn beef and cabbage would have appealed to us. It did not matter for mother had beefsteak, potatoes, etc. etc. for us when we returned. (Oct. 8) – Went to John Swarts little ranch in the suberbs of Grass Valley, and in a few days were permanently located there.” ... See MoreSee Less
