1860 Three Years in CALIFORNIA Native Americans San Francisco GOLD RUSH Colton

“Three Years in California” by Rev. Walter Colton offers a fascinating account of the authors experiences in California during the pivotal years leading up to the Gold Rush. Colton, a chaplain in the U.S. Navy and an observer of Californian life, provides detailed descriptions of natural disasters, encounters with Native Americans, bear hunts, and the early stages of the Gold Rush. His narrative captures the transformation of cities like San Francisco and Sacramento and reflects on the broader social and economic changes during this era of rapid growth and development. The book is accompanied by 6 engraved plates throughout. Coltons work remains a highly valued and significant historical account on pre-Gold Rush California.
