Subdeacon Joe Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Joe Lovell · Shared with Public Western Mining History · Shasta, California was both a mining camp and the gateway and supply center for the entire Trinity Diggins region which was being opened to the north. It was common for 100 freight teams to pass through Shasta in a single day. During the camps peak years between 1852 and 1857, it was reported that over $100,000 in gold dust passed through the town every week. https://westernmininghistory.com/towns/california/shasta/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
