In December 2020, my grandfather was in assisted living. I pulled out my journal writings from my grandparents and started compiling. I asked my grandfather questions right up until he passed in February 2021. My grandmother and I had calls with family members for more stories. I visited cousins and scanned photos and took photos of family items. What emerged was this book and how the gold rush in California captivated my ancestors and created us. It was finally self-published in October, the month my grandmother passed. To family, the reason we are here. ♥️ #family #familyhistory #california #californiaadventure #californialove #californiagoldrush #grassvalley #grassvalleyculture #sacramento #sacramentohistory #grassvalleyhistory #cornwallminingheritage #cornwall #goldmining #goldmininghistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdSOrduaUe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Travelers Hotel

Got hold of a letter written on stationary from the Traveler's Hotel - dated March 13th, 1935 -from the letter "Well Sacramento doesn’t come up to my expectations at all – I had imagined a really nice little city – but instead it’s just like the rest of them – dirty & funny looking. I guess I’m still in love with Berkeley, Calif. " Traveler's Hotel (428 J Street) was completed in 1914 at 5th Street and J Street and still stands today as a commercial/office building. About Traveler's Hotel - From Sacramento Old City Association website: http://sacoldcity.org/?page_id=7 "The Traveler’s Hotel opened in 1914 as one of the finest and most modern hotels on the Pacific Coast. Six stories tall, it was constructed of reinforced concrete and locally manufactured brown brick. Designed by architects Clarence C. Cuff and Maury I. Diggs the hotel was full of modern conveniences. These conveniences include dust chutes, laundry chutes, a central vacuum system and Sacramento’s first ice water circulating cooling system, which pumped water into all 226 rooms for cooling. This building was constructed by the Ransome Concrete Company, one of the originators of reinforced concrete. Founder E.L. Ransome wished to design an inexpensive means to build a fireproof and permanent construction. His idea was to use old cables, from San Francisco’s cable cars, to reinforce the concrete structure thereby combining the strength of iron with the strength of concrete."

Couldn't help getting a snap of this one, for multiple reasons. I've been watching #downtonabbey and the last name of #carlisle immediately got my attention, as well as the fact on the stone this individual came from #pennsylvania by wagon to #oakland in 1849. #history #historicdistrict #historical #cemetary #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #cemetery_shots #cemeterylovers #oldsacramento #oldstone #historyfacts #historyphotographed #historylesson #photodaily #sacramentohistory #sacramentophotographer #visitsacramento #greengrass #oldartwork #oldart #old #sculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwhw12qhYOe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18w3hcpum9wp8

There weren't many statues in the cemetary in comparison to #neworleans but the ones I found were very well done. #history #historicdistrict #historical #cemetary #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #cemetery_shots #cemeterylovers #oldsacramento #oldstone #historyfacts #historyphotographed #historylesson #photodaily #sacramentohistory #sacramentophotographer #visitsacramento #greengrass #oldart (at Sacramento Historic City Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXtRctHhvU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nwqurxuw6s4h

Since the #reno trip delayed, I checked out the #historic cemetery in Sacramento on the way home. Very well laid out and designed. #history #historicdistrict #historical #cemetary #cemetery #cemeteryphotography #cemetery_shots #cemeterylovers #oldsacramento #oldstone #historyfacts #historyphotographed #historylesson #photodaily #sacramentohistory #sacramentophotographer #visitsacramento #greengrass #oldart (at Sacramento Historic City Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVDl4hhIcf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v1l465f8p6my
