Coalbunny Carl has generously brought forward a GREAT gold mining history resource. Thanks, Carl :)
There are two ways to get at Richard's WONDERFUL compendium:

or from Mountain Democrat website, in reverse order, by years RH wrote these fabulous articles.

Hughey's MD bio from website introduces "Our Golden History", RH's favorite topic:
QUOTE
Richard Hughey is a retired California lawyer who spent fifteen years in a legal publishing house in New York as a writer and editor. He took an early retirement in 1995 to devote his fulltime to literary biography and early California history.
Hughey has written biographies of Robinson Jeffers, George Sterling, and other poets. Besides his history columns for the Mountain Democrat, he is writing a book on the Bullion Bend robbery and the trial of Tiburcio Vaszuez.
I've enjoyed surfing there.
