(President's Message, Continued from Page 1)
County Landmarks Commission, authorship and publication of Over
the Henness Pass — Road Barons and Risk Takers, and his research
and landmarking of the Kentucky Slave Mine and Kentucky Flat
School. These are just a few of Chuck’s contributions in helping
to celebrate Nevada County history. See enclosed January 2024
Bulletin article written by Chuck.
Finally, Dom Lindars received our Citizen of the Year award in
recognition of his authorship of the recent publication The Ditches of Nevada City that has memorialized the origins and history of
the mining ditches that collectively make up today’s water supply
for Western Nevada County (see the book review of same by Tanis
Thorne herein).
Congratulations to each of these award recipients and exemplary
volunteers for the well deserved recognition of their contributions to
both the Society and for sharing Nevada County’s rich history.
