First edition. Oakland: Thompson & West, 1880. Oblong folio (11" x 14 1/4"). With 83 lithographed plates (one counted as part of pagination; several double-page; several with multiple images; "Donner Party" leaf with image on recto and verso), fine hand-colored lithographed map: "Map of California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. 1880". Bound in the publisher's black cloth stamped in gilt and blind (rubbed, upper joint starting, cloth faded, front hinge open, rear hinge starting and repaired with tape). An unusually attractive copy. Some of the handsome lithographs were executed by C. L. Smith & Company. The history includes information and illustrations of gold mining in the area. Not only are there illustrations of various current mining operations, but Chapters XLIX to LIX (pp. 170-206) give extensive information on older mines still operating in Nevada County and on mining operations in use at the time. This section includes historical information on the early development of area mining during the Gold Rush. Chapter XV (pp. 40-46) gives a history of the discovery of gold in California. The text at pp. 38-40 and the two accompanying plates concern the Donner Party. The plate entitled "Arrival of the Relief Party" is especially dramatic, showing two figures crawling from beneath their snow-covered shelters. Thompson & West published encyclopedic histories of counties and their development, with highly inclusive surveys of every aspect of a region from early history to the time of publication. What makes the Thompson & West histories so appealing are the many lithographic plates of scenes of urban and rural life, rather than the usual array of pioneer portraits so prevalent in many county histories. These Thompson & West Victorian images, often idyllic and nostalgic to the modern eye, provide superb documentary details of architecture, street scenes, homes, farms, ranches, businesses, transportation, material culture, and social history.
