True Tales on the Gold Road to Yosemite by Newell D. Chamberlain History in the words of those who created it. Newell D. Chamberlain was born in 1880 and spent his early years in San Francisco. In 1926 he established Camp Midpines, so named because it was “amidst the pines and midway between Merced and Yosemite.” In the 1930s he compiled this chronicle of events in the Mother Lode country during and after the Gold Rush—drawing on newspapers of the time and interviews with early pioneers and their children. The result is this kaleidoscopic view of life during a dramatic era in the history of California. Illustrated with many historic photographs, some of which have not previously been published. This is a new edition of a book that was first published in 1936—revised and edited by Peter Browning.
