Your excellent article “The Real Gold at Bodie” (April) failed to mention the story about the little girl who moved to Bodie from nearby Virginia City. Her father was a miner who had found a better-paying job in Bodie. Virginia .City’s paper, The Territorial Enterprise , miffed at losing a subscriber, reported that as the family left town the daughter cried out, “Good-bye, God, we’re moving to Bodie!” The Bodie Free Press had its own version. The little girl, it reported, cried out not in anguish but in joy: “Good! By God we’re moving to Bodie!”
