Surnames: City of Six Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EY.2ADE/134.138 Message Board Post: I was hunting through a bookseller's list tonight and found the book, _The City of Six_ by Chauncey L. Canfield. You can find it on the website of Hardy Books of Nevada City, CA at <www.hardybooks.com>. The book is reportedly about "placer mining on the Yuba river, 1849-1859, based on Canfield's own experiences in Sierra county, above Downieville." They want $150 for their copy. You may find it for less if you search. Depending on your level of interest in this area, this book might be a good resource. Chuck Sierra County GenWeb
