New book offers local history
Ii
A new book on the histor);
of Sierra County is now avail-
able in both Kindle and pa-
perback. It is titled "Behind
Every Hero," and is the true
story of a few of the men and
women who settled in Down-
ieville during the Gold Rush
of 1849, and later moved down
to Sierra Valley, where they
struggled through the chal-
lenges of pioneer life in a for-
gotten corner of that world.
The story reads like histor-
ical fiction, but is in fact a
true account using the actual
names of people who lived in
Downieville and the south-
west area of Sierra Valley
during this period.
The author, C.L. Neely,
now resides in John Day,
Ore., but is a native of North-
ern California, a graduate of
Portola High School, and a
resident of Plumas and Sierra
counties for 40 years. Fifteen
years of research went into
this new book and it is docu-
mented with a bibliography
and a chapter distinguishing
fact from fiction.
Currently, "Behind Every
Hero" is available through
amazon.com or from the au-
thor, C.L. Neely, 60401 High- Author C.L. Neely displays her new book, "Behind Every Hero."

POEM OF THE WEEK
American Life in Poetry
Ted Kooser
U.S. Poet Laureate, 2004 - 06
Somebody tells somebody else about something that happened. It comes naturally. We've
been doing that for as long as our species has been around. But to elevate an anecdote into art
requires more than just relating an incident. It requires a talent for pacing, for detail, for per-
suasion and more. Here David Black, of Virginia, tells a good story in an artful manner.
Sleepers
A sleeper, they used to call it --
four passes with the giant round saw
and you had a crosstie, 7 inches by 9 of white oak
at two hundred pounds nearly twice my weight
and ready to break finger or toe --
like coffin lids, those leftover slabs,
their new-sawn faces turning gold and brown
as my own in the hot Virginia sun,
drying toward the winter and the woodsaw
and on the day of that chore
I turned over a good, thic one
looking for the balance point
and roused a three-foot copperhead,
gold and brown like the wood,
disdaining the shoe it muscled across,
each rib distinct as a needle stitching leather,
heavy on my foot as a crosstie.
--David Black
