About this title

Synopsis

Fascinating history of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad (also known as the "Never Come Never Go") which connected Grass Valley and Nevada City, California between 1874 and 1942. Well-written and lively prose do justice to this important piece of California history, including the development of the gold fields, the leadership of John and Sara Kidder, and the role the railroad played for decades in connecting these isolated towns. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos, which show both the railroad and local residents and scenes of historic interest. 216 pages with index.
