Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeastern Humboldt Hinterlands is a history of 28 places, covering the years from 1850 to 1964, illustrated with over 170 photographs and 8 maps. You'll find stories about the sheep ranchers who gambled and drank their days away in Blocksburg, the rescue party that took "High Rock" Gordon across the snowy wastes of Showers Pass, and the shootout on the ridgeville bridge. There are accounts of the governors from Michigan, who collected redwoods on the Van Duzen; the "second largest city in Humboldt County," whose businesses failed to fill a single street; and the navy that removed the pepperwoods from Pepperwood. From Iaqua to Harris, from Carlotta to Dinsmore, all the towns and gathering places are covered.
