About this book
Bodie Mining Co., stub book, 1883-01-02/1883-03-24
Author: Bulwer Standard Mining Co.
Year: 1883
Bodie State Historic Park is a genuine California gold-mining ghost town. Visitors can walk down the deserted streets of a town that once had a population of nearly 10,000 people. The town is named for Waterman S. Body (William Bodey), who had discovered small amounts of gold in hills north of Mono Lake. In 1875, a mine cave-in revealed pay dirt, which led to purchase of the mine by the Standard Company in 1877. People flocked to Bodie and transformed it from a town of a few dozen to a boomtown. These financial ledgers and documents record the success and failures of organizations in the Bodie region.
