Beschreibung
247 p. "According to [Dale] Morgan, Schaeffer originally contributed these sketches to a religious newspaper under the pen name 'Quartz.' Schaeffer's book has received the praise of many for providing a congenial, yet uninflated account of his three years in California. He left New York in the ship Flavius on March 24, 1849, and sailed around Cape Horn to San Francisco. Shortly thereafter, [he] visited Stockton, Sacramento, Rough and Ready, Grass Valley, Gold Run, and Downieville. He also participated in the Gold Lake expedition of 1850. Poor health caused him to take a cruise, and after recovering, he stayed in Grass Valley from December 29, 1850, until his departure on April 25, 1852. Like many others, he returned home via the Isthmus of Panama and arrived back in New York on May 25, 1852." 12mo. Original blind-stamped maroon cloth binding, with gilt titles. Internally crisp and clean. The spine is moderately sun faded, with a bit of minor wear to the corners and tips; otherwise very good. Kurutz, G.: The California Gold Rush, #558.
