Item Details

Description

A Tour of Duty in California; Including a Description of the Gold Region: and an Account of the Voyage Around Cape Horn; with Notices of Lower California, the Gulf and Pacific Coasts, and the Principal Events Attending the Conquest of the Californias. By Lt. Joseph Warren Revere (grandson of Paul Revere). Published by C.S. Francis & Co., 1849. First edition. Streeter called this "one of the most important books on the Gold Rush." As a lieutenant in the US Navy, Revere offers a firsthand account of the conquest of California. He includes descriptions of California's natural resources, scenery, quicksilver mines, crops, economy, inhabitants, etc. Revere was also present in California to observe the early days of the Gold Rush. However, he was concerned about the lawlessness of California in those early days writing, "She is without government, without laws, without a military force, while tens of thousands of adventurers from all parts of the earth are pouring into her golden valleys... [and they] will be transformed by the evil spirit of avarice...into knaves and men of violence." Overall, this work is a very important account of the Mexican-American War and the Gold Rush. 305 pages plus advertisements. and six lithograph plates sketched by Revere. Also includes a foldout map of the Harbour of San Francisco, also sketched by Revere. Rebound, gilt stamped spine. 5 x 7.75 inches.Date: Country (if not USA): State: CaliforniaCity: Provenance:
