Hair-raising action will be "name of the
game” at the Nev. Co. Horsemen Rodeo,
scheduled July 2 in Grass Valley, when the
turn comes for bareback riding. Cowboys are
required to spur while hanging on to pitching
outlaws with a single handhold. If they win,
they pick up some hefty cash purses, as well
as points toward western cowboy titles.
The day didnt need to be the 4th of July for excitemenit to occur
in the Sierras in the 1800's, In 1850 in Rough and Ready a miner
about to be lynched appealed to William Morris Stewart to save
him, “Dare you stop it?" a miner asked Stewart, “With you I
dare," he replied and with that he drew his revolvers, "Stop, You
have got the wrong man!" he ordered the mob, They stopped and
William Morris Stewart went on to have a great influence in the
Mother Lode as a senator and the “Father of American Mining
Law",
.

One depressing aspect of conformity in the Mother: Lode after the
great boom was the tendency to change the colorful names of the
original mining camps to more “acceptable” and respectable
phrases, The camps had earned their names, If a dead horse had
been found on the original campground, the place was likely to
be called Dead Horse Springs or gulch or ravine. The names had
a direct honesty that defied improvement; Hangtown, above was
renamed Placerville?, Bedbug became Ione, Negro Bar Folsom,
Respectability, if it is anything, is dull,
