HISTORY OF PLUMAS COUNTY



        In preparing the history of Plumas County, the writer, has, in a great 
measure, relied upon information and data furnished by Mr. Fenton B. Whiting, 
now and for years past the popular clerk of Plumas county. Imbued with a strong 
desire to preserve for posterity the annals of the county which has been his 
home for thirty years, and where the most stirring scenes of his life have been 
enacted, Mr. Whiting has for a number of years been engaged upon the work of 
collecting the data which he has so kindly placed, together with his 
enthusiastic assistance, at our disposal. This has been confined with 
information obtained from many and varied sources, making a history both 
complete and accurate. In this way Mr. Whiting's identity has been to a large 
degree lost, but here and there his friends will readily recognize his 
handiwork. Our thanks are also due to the gentlemen who have contributed from 
their own experiences to aid Mr. Whiting in his labors, as well as to those who 
have made their contributions to us direct. They will all feel a proprietary 
interest in the following pages.
