Her father was part of a Cornish diaspora that sent a generation of men from the declining copper and tin mines of southwest England in the mid-19th century to mines opening around the world. Mabel remembers her girlhood at the Sierra Buttes mine, where her home was bolted to the mountain to withstand fierce winter winds. \u003cem\u003eGold Miner's Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e offers a young girl's view into makeshift towns where one could dine on fresh oysters and fine liquor one day, then contract smallpox or be buried in an avalanche the next. It's an intimate story filled with family love and community spirit, edited and introduced by Mabel's great-niece Laura Thomas, a former editor and writer at the \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mabel W.
