Population 85: The Story of a Small Town in Northern California by JoAnn Beresford Perkins is rich in Mineral and area history; but if you think--as I did--that history is a dry subject, this book will surprise you! JoAnn not only provides an extensive catalog of influential historical figures, she fleshes them out with anecdotes and insights that make for an entertaining exploration of the human side of this tiny town's past. Some of the best parts of the book are humorous re-tellings of her own many adventures and misadventures accumulated over a lifetime in Mineral. The sizable collection of photographs scattered throughout the book give readers a realistic view into a relatively recent past that now seems to be an age ago. Population 85 is a tremendous contribution to the preservation of Mineral's historical and cultural roots. This book is a gift to anyone who is interested in our little "wide spot in the road."--Jan Becker
