August 2 Noon-3pm Book Signing - The Golden Hub, Sacramento Jody Hornor, co-author of The Golden Hub, Sacramento, will be on hand to show, explain and sign The Golden Hub, Sacramento. This probably the most important book ever written about Sacramento. The text utilizes the 1880 Thompson & West book for its core, then pulls together first hand accounts of life in Sacramento from the diaries and letters of dozens of early miners and settlers. It also has c. 1860 newspaper accounts from the Sacramento Bee, The Union and the Folsom Telegraph. With a restored 19th century photo on every page, this book brings 19th century Sacramento to life in a way no other book has ever done.
