Santa Barbara: Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, 2001 First edition. Pp. xii, 115. 6 illustrations. Notes, bibliography and index. Dark blue cloth, gilt. Owner's signature on inner cover. A very fine copy, as new copy with dust jacket. . Story of this Boston seafarer and captain of the ship Mercury, who (beginning in 1803) traded between Alaska, China, and (illegally) California. Foreigners were not allowed by the California Spanish government to trade in California. Eayrs was caught (his ship and goods confiscated), jailed, and released after eleven months. He converted to Catholicism, married and spent most of the next forty years in Guadalajara, Mexico. All the while, Eayrs wrote dozens of letters to the Mexican authorities in an attempt to gain compensation for his ship and cargo. Finally, in 1842, a U.S.-Mexican commission determined that the Mexican government should pay Eayrs $96,998., including interest. .

Description:
Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1930 First edition. Compiled by Katherine A. White. 294pp. Illustrated. Original dark green cloth lettered in red. A fine copy. "Ably edited letters of an observant miner and merchant" (Wheat). "These outstanding letters range in date from November 24, 1846, to January 22, 1881. Remarkably, all were addressed to Buck's sister... Buck, writing from New York, first mentioned the possibility of seeking gold in California in a December 2, 1848, letter" (Kurutz). In August of 1849, Buck arrived in San Francisco after having taken the Cape Horn route. He concentrated on being a trader, moved to Sacrmento City and began to prosper in transporting gold dust and selling property. By 1850, business had slowed and Buck took up mining. He then went on a trip to Tahiti and Hawaii and returned to mine near Downieville in 1851. He finally moved to Weaverville, opened a store, and remained until 1866.
