Download The Bourn Dynasty: The Empire Mine's Golden Era 1869-1929 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The important role played by the W. B. Bourn family in the history of California is not generally well known. Usually, the family is heard of only in connection with "Filoli," the Bourn mansion in San Mateo County, or the Bourn "Cottage" at the Empire Mine State Historic Park in Grass Valley. The Bourn family is introduced on guided tours at these sites as their builders and first occupants, and the Bourn family wealth is usually noted as having been derived from ownership of the famous Empire Gold Mine. There is little mention of any family roles in the political, financial, or social life of the time. This somewhat narrow interpretation of Bourn history has not gone unnoticed by visitors to these properties, and the question "Is there anything more available on the Bourns?" is frequently asked at the conclusion of a guided tour. To remedy this oversight, this book hopes to present a composite of biographical and anecdotal information on the Bourns and the related Chase, Starr, and Vincent families. The Bourn family was a strong force for good throughout California's Golden Age. They left an enduring mark on San Francisco through their contributions to the economic, social, architectural, cultural, and religious life of the community. That same force for good continues into the present day.

While the great mining bonanzas of the nineteenth-century West made eastern California and Nevada the subject of legend, much of the wealth from the mines flowed to San Francisco and made possible the growth of the city and some fabulous personal fortunes. Among the wealthiest and most powerful of the Bonanza Kings was William Bowers Bourn I and his son and successor, William Bowers Bourn II. The elder Bourn, descendant of an early New England family, arrived in San Francisco shortly after the discovery of gold in the Sierra foothills. Although he eventually invested heavily in mines in Grass Valley and on the Comstock, his initial success was as a businessman in the booming port city. The younger Bourn built upon his fathers success, expanding the Empire Mine in Grass Valley into one of the largest, most productive, and most technologically advanced hard-rock gold mines in the West, acquiring additional mining properties on the Comstock and on Treasure Hill in eastern Nevada, and developing a range of business ventures, including a vast water system that was to become the basis for San Francisco's present water supply. Like many other wealthy men of his generation, William Bourn II was a generous donor to worthy causes and an enthusiastic patron of the arts, supporting such projects as the San Francisco Symphony, the Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915, the construction of the present quarters of the Pacific Union Club, and the creation of his own final home, Filoli, a vast Italianate estate on the Peninsula south of San Francisco.

Much of the wealth from the great mining bonanzas of the nineteenth century American West flowed into San Francisco and made possible the growth of the city and some fabulous personal fortunes. Among the wealthiest and most powerful of the Bonanza Kings were William Bowers Bourn I and his son and successor, William Bowers Bourn II. Their wealth came from rich mines in Nevada’s Comstock Lode and Treasure Hill and California’s Sierra foothills, as well as astute business ventures in the booming port city of San Francisco. Last Bonanza Kings tells their story with all the colorful detail and sweeping sense of epic drama that the characters and their times demand, setting them into the turbulent context of an age of rampant financial and civic growth, major technological advances in mining, lavish philanthropy, and opulent personal lifestyles.
