Item Details

Description

Dated: Rattlesnake, Jan. 12, 1856. Peter E. Mead deposited $400 in coin to be returned to him on his order on presentation of this receipt, signed Baldwin & Co. by G W. Blackburn. Endorsed on reverse Mead received $20 January 19 and $380 Mar. 16th. 8 x 4 inches on light blue paper. The coiner, Baldwin & Co., left California in 1851 (see Owens). This Baldwin & Co. were Wells, Fargo & Co. agents at Rattlesnake Bar in California. Rattlesnake was the first name for the Sierra County Gold Camp later known as LaPorte. Rattlesnake Bar is in northwestern El Dorado County and southern Placer County. The placer mines here along the American River were highly productive during the gold rush. The town was established in 1849 and became good-sized until 1864, when it was destroyed by fire. Sierra County was one of the richest gold districts in the northern Mother Lode country. LaPorte contained a portion of the original [x=#8220/]Blue Lead[x=#8221/] and a fortune in placer gold from that tertiary channel was mined. [Gold Districts of California Bulletin 193 p.112. / Item # 194 from Holabird Summer 2008 Gold Rush catalog] Additional Rattlesnake history included. This receipt was included in the 2022 Holabird sale featuring shipwreck treasure items and related material from the famous S. S. Central America Gold Rush Steampship. Rattlesnake California
