Scenes of Wonder Curiosity From Hutchings California Magazine, 1856-1861 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Scenes of Wonder Curiosity From Hutchings California Magazine, 1856-1861
That solid information James Hutchings was well prepared to supply. California was his subject; he knew it very well indeed. Born in England in 1824, he had come to the United States as a youth and was employed in a New Orleans business house when news of the great California gold strike swept the nation. He crossed the plains and moun tains in '49, arriving in Placerville in October. He served more than an apprenticeship in the mines: he made his pile and lost it in the failure of a San Francisco bank, thus gaining invaluable first-hand experience with two major California institutions. He later had little to say about banks in his magazine, but he identified himself strongly with the miners, portraying their life and problems, and ever holding the industrious miner the best of the state's citizens.
