PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A wildly popular contemporary account of the California gold rush, originally published in 1849. Taylor's wonderful book includes his voyage to California, and life both in the frontier town of San Francisco and out in the mining camps. He traveled throughout the new American territory from San Francisco to the Sierras at the behest of Horace Greeley, attending the state constitutional convention and interviewing countless Californians.
