That is what Mirror of the Dream is all -- the promise, the quest, the dissapointment, the continuing dream of more than 175 years of history. In almost 95, 000 words of text and more than 450 illustrations (many of them previously unpublished) T.H. Watkins and R.R. Olmsted illuminate, as never before, the story of a city invented by Yankee expatriates in 1846 and force-fed into a wayward growth by the splendid accident of gold in 1848.
