Edition originale
First Edition. 118pp. Folio [36 cm] Full green cloth with the title gilt stamped on the backstrip. Near fine. The discovery of gold on the American River, east of Sacramento, on January 24, 1848, caused Stockton to transform from a small settlement to a thriving commercial center, supplying miners heading up to the Sierra foothills. Stockton got its start when Captain Charles M. Weber, a German immigrant, decided to try his hand at gold mining in late 1848 but soon discovered serving the needs of gold-seekers was a more profitable opportunity. He then founded Stockton in 1849 when he purchased over 49,000 acres of land through a Spanish land grant. Saunders 53.
