Placer County California A Con PDF Download

Excerpt from Placer County, California: A Continent Within a County Although Placer County is the banner deciduous fruit county of the State, it still contains a great deal of unimproved land well adapted to the growing of all kinds of fruit, grain and alfalfa; just as good land as that now under cultivation and offers just as good an opportunity for the making of thousands of happy and prosperous homes, as was the opportunity for the thousands we already have. To the investor, we offer large tracts of unimproved land await ing subdivision and development; to the fruit grower and farmer, we offer a variety of soil and climate capable of producing almost every tree and plant produced by Mother Earth; to the stockman, we offer the mountain range in summer and the warm sheltered foothills in winter; to the miner we offer miles of unexplored ancient river channels, rich with placer gold, and hundreds of undeveloped gold bearing quartz ledges from which in ages past, our streams and can yons drew their flow of river gold, that gave to this county the name of Placer. To the man who wishes to retire from active life, we offer a situation free from the cold blizzards of the North and the violent storms of other sections; a climate and scenery second to none; a broad minded and intelligent civilization, and every form of modern convenience within his reach, in fact, a place where any man can sit beneath and enjoy his own vine and fig t'ree.
