Down The Mother Lode (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162660325)

Down The Mother Lode is a novel written by Vivia Hemphill. Set in the late 1800s, the book follows the journey of a young woman named Lizzie who embarks on a perilous journey across the American West in search of her missing father. Along the way, she encounters a diverse cast of characters, including miners, gamblers, and outlaws, all of whom are searching for their own fortunes in the gold rush. As Lizzie delves deeper into the dangerous and unpredictable world of the Mother Lode, she must rely on her wits and her courage to survive. This gripping tale of adventure, love, and redemption paints a vivid picture of life during one of the most exciting and tumultuous periods in American history.Everywhere in the foothills of the Sierras there are still evidences of gold mining. High cliffs face the rivers, all that is left of hills torn down at the point of the powerful hydraulic nozzles, with great heaps of cobbles at their base which Mother Nature, even in seventy years has been unable to change or cover.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
