Eureka

Tucked away behind the "redwood curtain" on the northwestern coast of California lies the historic city of Eureka. The location of the city directly alongside Humboldt Bay combined with the abundance of redwood attracted miners, loggers, and fishermen, and the city grew and prospered quickly. Using a comparison of historic images gathered from several historical archives matched with current photographs taken by the author, this book shows Eureka's transformation from a wild logging and fishing town into the modern city it has become today.
