Every journal and the experiences which fomed the basis of every journal reflected individual and unique happenings, and it yould be pointless to try to select one which was a common denominator. Dr. Osbun was remarkable at almost every turn. His journal throws light on phases of the Gold Rush, of life in San Francisco in 1849 and 1850, and on Pacific Ocean commerce which is of real interest and importance. Furthermore, he emerges from his narrative as a person worth knowing, a man who consciously and unconsciously reveals much that is amusing and significant about charactor." from the Introduction. Price clipped, else, Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Green cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Size: 8vo. Book.
