Description:

Serving in public office in Marysville, California for forty years, William Ellis knew the Yuba County region extremely well.

Additionally, Ellis recounts his boyhood in the town, his experiences with local businessmen, and his interaction with political leaders. He also describes attempts to prevent flooding and the impact of hydraulic mining in the region. For researchers of early Northern California, this can be an informative and insightful narrative.
