{"product_id":"the-west-branch-mill-of-andy-mark-9781540221230","title":"The West Branch Mill of the Sierra Lumber Company: Early Logging in Northeastern California","description":"In the late 1800s, the green gold of California's inland timber belt included the long-coned sugar pine and cinnamon-dusted ponderosa pine of Big Chico Creek Canyon. Tucked into the steep terrain of present-day Butte and Tehama Counties, the bustling West Branch Mill logging operations moved timber from the foothills east of Chico to waiting markets in Sacramento, Marysville and San Francisco. Local author Andy Mark recounts the lesser-known history of the West Branch Mill, recalling a time when resident physician Newton T. Enloe treated the daring men who faced daily peril, John Bidwell's bumpy and sometimes treacherous Humboldt Wagon Road was essentially the only route to town and Big Chico Creek was lined with an elevated flume running lumber and ambulance rafts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andy Mark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540221237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540221230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Andy Mark","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938206187775,"sku":"9781540221230","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a9350114-66c7-4473-9aea-d715206c1b36.jpg?v=1681434365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-west-branch-mill-of-andy-mark-9781540221230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
