Amador City is a small Gold Rush era town in Amador County, which has more dead than living. The .3 square mile hamlet of just 201 “living” souls is the smallest incorporated city in California. It was once the center of a thriving mining industry, with over 1000 residents. The town has seen its population ebb and flow, along with mining. It has experienced several fires, and frequent deaths. It is a city with much history lying buried along with many who once called it home. It is a city where fortunes were made. There was Alvinza Hayward, who consulted mediums before staking a mining claim, and well-known individuals such as Leland Stanford and George Hearst. However, there were many who never found the elusive gold that evaded them in life. Perhaps their spirits are responsible for the orbs of light seen flashing through Amador City’s buildings, and the ethereal voices still heard echoing along the banks of Amador Creek. Some spirits have been seen in physical form, others seemingly expressing themselves through moving objects, cold spots and unexplained noises. Then there are those wandering souls still seeking a resolution to their murder, restless miners whose deaths could have been avoided, and suicides who ended their lives abruptly. It is a city where the past still haunts the present. Read and explore tales of the dead and more — forgotten byways, neighboring towns that have disappeared, robberies, saloon brawls and how 1872 mining claim laws are still in effect, and how you too, may become rich by becoming a present-day gold miner.

Located in the heart of California's gold country, rural Amador County has retained much of its gold rush?era atmosphere, even as modern times have influenced the populace and the landscape. In the early days, life was quite rugged here, and lumberjacks, hard-rock miners, and railroad men were a common sight. Today much of the community's stunning natural setting remains nearly as sylvan and pristine as it was when the county was incorporated in 1854. Proud of an extensive and colorful history that includes mining, lumber, mountaineering, Native Americans, wine making, agriculture, and railroads, Amador County residents truly enjoy this slowly evolving place they call home.

Resting in the community park in Ione, California, is old No. 7, affectionately known as "Iron Ivan," the last steam engine that served on the Amador Central Railroad. At the southern edge of town, one can glimpse the rails it once rode. Built in 1904, the Amador Central Railroad--a 12-mile, standard-gauge short line that snakes its way through the Sierra Nevada foothills from Ione to Martell--served both passengers and freighters for a century until 2004. It was said to be the slowest line in California, with over 75 curves and a grade of four percent in some places. In 2010, Sierra Pacific Industries sold the railroad to a nonprofit consortium to preserve the historic line.

In Plymouth and Northwestern Amador County mother and daughter authors Deborah Coleen Cook and Amy Elizabeth Champ present a look into the chronological past of the region from the native Miwok people to the 21st century with photographs gleaned from local families and historic repositories. Situated near the Sierra Nevada foothills in the northwestern region of Amador County is the small town of Plymouth. This hamlet, and other surrounding towns such as Drytown, Fiddletown, and River Pines, have been home to farmers, ranchers, and merchants since the early days of the California Gold Rush. Plymouth, known to be the gateway to the world-famous Shenandoah Valley wine country, is a thriving community with a hometown feel. History lives here, from the aged buildings along Main Street to the ruins of the Plymouth-Consolidated Mine, one of the largest gold producers in California. Cook, a retired historic archaeologist and former Amador County archivist, spent much of her professional career studying the history of Amador County and is a former longtime resident of Plymouth. Champ has been a resident of Plymouth since obtaining her doctoral degree at the University of California at Davis. She currently teaches in Amador County.
