British and eastern financiers such as Guggenheim and Rothschild saw the potential in the unique combination of high-grade copper ore, a functioning railway, and vast quantities of limestone and quartz for flux, and they invested in major smelters to conquer the difficult sulfide ore. The decades that followed were the produced towns such as Coram, Keswick, Kennett, and Copper City and attracting thousands of hardworking miners and townspeople as well as new railroads such as the Sacramento Valley & Eastern, Quartz Hill, and Iron Mountain. While the boom ended in deforestation and erosion, the actions of the Bureau of Reclamation and the Shasta Dam brought prosperity to the area. Today, most of the copper towns rest under Lake Shasta.Ron Jolliff has long been associated with numerous historical groups in Shasta County. Although the author has produced other local history books for the Shasta Historical Society, this is his first Images of America title with Arcadia. The Shasta Historical Society has focused on the preservation of local history since 1930 and now takes pride in assisting with the development of other organizations.
