Klappentext
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rail Road Flat (formerly, Independence Flat and Railroad Flat) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Calaveras County, California, United States. The population was 549 at the 2000 census. This historic mining town, elevation 2, 600 feet (788 m), was named after primitive mule-drawn ore cars used here. There was never actually a railroad here. The town was established in 1849. It was the site of an Indian council as well as the center of rich placer and quartz mining. Its largest producer was the Petticoat Mine. The post office was established in 1857, closed in 1858, and re-established in 1869 and the Edwin Taylor store built in 1867. The town's population was decimated in 1880 by black fever.
