San Marino: Huntington Library, 1956 First edition. Edited by Benjamin B. Richards. Pp. xvii, [1], 124. Map, notes, index. Cloth-backed decorated boards, paper spine label. A very fine copy.

Tired of the New England climate, Stephen left for California on January 21, 1852, and kept a store at Coulterville, on Maxwell's Creek for the next two years. News of his brother's death…
