An As New book in an As New dust jacket. Fascinating contemporary account of the California Gold Rush by William McCollum. Back colophon: "Designed and printed by Robert Greenwood and Newton Baird at The Talisman Press in an edition limited to 750 copies. July, 1960." From front flap: "Wright Howes, in his U.S.-iana, placed McCollum's book among the class of superlatively rare books, almost unobtainable, and calls the work 'one of the most authentic contemporary narratives of California in the first year of the gold rush.' Dr. McCollum came to the California gold fields via Panama. From San Francisco he journeyed to Stockton, thence to the Southern mines. Later expeditions took him to Sacramento and the Northern mines on the American River, then again to San Francisco, where he practiced medicine for a brief time. His journal is important insofar as it is one of the earliest gold rush accounts, and gives much important data regarding the rapid growth of California in 1849." Contents: "Introduction" by Dale L. Morgan, "Introductory Chapter" by William S. McCollum, "From Lockport to Chagres," "From Chagres to Panama," "Experiences at Panama," "Voyage to San Francisco," "San Francisco in July, 1849," "The Southern Mines," "Return Home via the Isthmus," "Home Recollections of California," Bradley's Recollections of San Francisco," "Cook's Recollections of the Northern Mines," "William S. McCollum's Appendix," "Five Letters Written From the Isthmus in 1849" by W. H. Hecox, "Arrival of Vessels and Passengers at Chagres for California," "Notes," and "Index.".
