Bodie Gold Mining Camp's Lucky Cave-in!

Learn about Bodie, California, the scene of an 1859 gold strike. This is a good read. "At one point Bodie consisted of no less than thirty mines, nine stamp mills, a railroad and over 2000 buildings. Including two banks, a fire company, five newspapers, close to 70 saloons, numerous dance houses and one jail. The town had a red light district and a Chinatown complete with opium dens."
