While looking through various sources for information regarding ghost town histories, I came across some widely diverse accounts of the life of George Ives, who was hung in Nevada City in 1863--perhaps wrongly--for murder.
If anyone has encountered detailed information about this man's life, or knows of a good website that focuses on crime on the mining frontier, I'd love to hear about it. (I'm especially interested in sources that may include personal letters and/or photographs.)
