Plumas County, History of the Feather River Region

Made In USA

The expansive national forests, craggy canyons, sparkling waterways, and downy meadows of Plumas County lie along the union of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountain ranges in northeastern California. Native home to the Maidu tribes and settled by Euro-American gold seekers, Plumas County evolved as an industrial fulcrum of the Feather River watershed and is a treasured reminder of the strength of the pioneering spirit. Jim Young, former history professor and member of the Plumas County Museum Association and Plumas County Historical Society, has authored several other history books. With the collaborated efforts of the Plumas County Museum Association, this volume boasts an extensive, compelling narrative and striking illustrations of this northeastern California locale. The most comprehensive work on Plumas County since Fariss & Smith's 1882 history.
