More about the book
Set against the backdrop of California's gold rush, the narrative explores the origins of Paradise, a settlement that evolved from a mere stopover into a thriving community. Initially attracting miners, the area lacked gold but found its economic footing through timber and sawmilling. The establishment of the Diamond Match Company's railroad further spurred growth, leading to the development of "New Paradise." Rich in agricultural heritage, the town became known for its apple orchards and continues to celebrate its history with events like Johnny Appleseed Days.
