Book excerpt: Granny Aimes came to California by wagon with her family, the Normas and the Morrises, to begin a new adventure in a state flush with gold and promise. With pioneer grit, the Normans followed the placer gold while the Morrises found gold in the rich soil of Butte County. The threads of their story - with twists of hope, fear, betrayal, and redemption - are woven into the David and Goliath struggle between two of California's largest industries at that time - agriculture and gold hydraulicking. Mary Ray King's engaging storytelling brings to life unforgettable characters doing what people do today - live. It tells of two families surviving the challenges of life against the backdrop of two industries fighting to survive. Written in 1947, The Road to Cherokee isn't just a novel - it's a historical epic that will sweep you into another time. ANCHR added photographs and annotated history to provide persepective for that modern reader about events that, while they happened generations ago, still resonate today.
