“The Centennial Celebration of the discovery of gold at Coloma by James W. Marshall on January 24, 1848, has stimulated renewed interest in the Mother Lode of California and has brought forth a number of new books, pamphlets and stories of the early pioneer days. Most of this literature has to do with the history, life, and romance of the Gold Rush period which vividly stamped upon the new western state a personality which has by no means been erased during the past century of industrial development. Few persons who enter the Sierran Gold Belt, however, appreciate the full significance of its mineral wealth, gain a clear picture of its extent and importance, or understand why this district is credited with having: built the very foundation of the State's civilization even as it still contributes to the firmness of its industry and character.
“The position of the mines and quarries, the importance of the mineral deposits, and the geologic reasons for their being are all features which this Guidebook has endeavored to present. The traveler who is desirous of information rather than speed can get a better understanding of the region if he follows a map prepared with an accompanying description logged carefully as to mileage.
“The charm of the old mining towns, which harmonize so perfectly with the natural loveliness of the Sierran foothills, is due largely to the surviving stone and brick structures of pioneer days. These old buildings, many of which are now in ruins, stand as mute evidence of the early development of what is now called industrial minerals. Treatment of this subject shows how the value of natural resources of the country were immediately realized by the earliest settlers.”
