Gold Seekers Report From Sacramento Era 1849
A letter from April 1842 describes Sacramento rushes for gold and diamonds, with rumors of a German river claim and a wave of prospectors. The writer notes rising prices for pork and brandy, a booming yet rough frontier life, and a new local governance in California. A separate item records a June 15 1849 meeting of the Lancaster Medical Institute, renaming to Fairfield County Medical Institute and electing officers, with rules for admitting new members by vote and vetting.
