See also Searls Image Collection. See PIC 4-TRU 12 link. Note in 1880 Thompson & West book: "The town of Truckee was having its problems in 18763 with lawlessness. The citizens also felt neglected because of their isolation from the county seat in Nevada City. A movement was started to secede from Nevada County and join Placer. However, Placer County did want them. The possibility of forming a County of Donner was explored."
