The Bodie Mining District was established in 1860 after the discovery of gold deposits in the area. Bodie’s largest boom ended ust over twenty years later, but the town survived into the twentieth century supported by a few small but steady mines. Mining ended with World War II. What remained of the town became a state park in 1964. In Bodie’s Gold, author Marguerite Sprague uncovers the original sources of information whenever possible, from the first mining claims to interviews with former Bodieites. Enhanced with numerous historic photographs and extracts from newspapers of that period, as well as by the reminiscences of former residents, the book offers a fascinating account of life in a Gold Rush boomtown.

Arizona Lode Gold Mines and Gold Mining was originally published in 1934 by the Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletin 137 and covers information on most of the known gold mines in the state of Arizona at the time. A little history is given on the types of Gold Deposits that are formed in Arizona and some Arizona gold mining history. The rest of the book is devoted to the various gold districts in the state. Over 40 Mining Districts and 150 various mines are covered in this book not to mention general claims and areas discussed. If you are looking for gold then the best places to look are near where it has been found before and in Arizona this book will tell you where those locations are along with a little history on the production and geology of each mine.
