Also see . . . Dedrick - California Ghosttown. I see very little seems to be known about Dedrick. When I was a young lad growing up in Weaverville I had occassion to go fishing in Canyon Creek that runs by Dedrick. I cannot remember the year, sometime in the fifties, nineteen, that is, I remember the old shack that housed a bar. - John Hanlon (Submitted on June 7, 2012, by Barry Swackhamer of Brentwood, California.)
