Description
This circa 1900 promotional postcard from Phoenix Mills shows men fishing along the Sacramento River. By 1890, Phoenix was one of four major mills in the Sacramento area, an industry which draws its heritage back to 1847 with the construction of the first flouring mill built west of the Rocky Mountains, located three miles east of Sutter's Fort.
