The Call of Gold: True Tales on the Gold Road to Yosemite

Chamberlain, Newell

In the following book, “TRUE TALES ON THE GOLD ROAD TO YOSEMITE”, Mr. Newell D. Chamberlain has gathered together a wealth of historical data of one of California’s vast gold regions, a great deal of which is no doubt known to but few people. From my own knowledge of the region, his narration appears to be a correct historical portrayal of the events therein contained and should prove interesting reading, not only to Californians, who are so proud of their State, but to visitors to California, and all who are interested in the history, development and expansion of our Nation’s vast natural resources and its wealth of natural beauty and grandeur. History is the chronicle of human events and the portrayal of objects and qualifies people to travel and enjoy the country through which we pass, to the fullest extent. I commend Mr. Chamberlain upon the extent of his historical research in the preparation of this work, and for his clear and interesting presentation of his subject. -J. J. Trabucco
