<p>These are the stories of my family who came west for the Gold Rush - and stayed. Provided with simple items as photos, a little memorabilia and tidbits of information from my parents, years of in-depth research have provided the tales described in this book. There were hardships on arrival in California, gunfights, a stagecoach robbery, devastating fires, murders, a hanging, and the deaths and triumphs over depression and alcohol. Digging through research also revealed the effect the Civil War had on my relatives, their involvement in construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, and the toll pandemics and disease brought to the family. This book looks at events that shaped the lives of a family who came to California by wagon and ship and their children born in the 19th century.</p>

Skeletons in the Closet: Adventures of a Gold Rush Family

History

AuthorNancyPorter

Robert Engman’s work over the last fifty years has ranged in size from monumental to miniature. Large pieces he has created for major cities and museums in decades past have common attributes but he had never formally attempted to make a series of related works. In the last ten years, he has cast a group of 52 distinctive small sculptures, whose modest scale has allowed him to realize his vast number of sculptural ideas more efficiently. This collection clearly demonstrates how Engman’s work expands and alters three-dimensional structural concepts. Divided into nine families, the sculptures’ forms are based on different combinations of circles and squares in flat and warped planes. Each piece is shown from several angles, revealing strikingly different perspectives.
