1894 CALIFORNIA Adventures of Forty-Niner Gold Rush San Francisco COLOMA Knower
Daniel Knowers “Adventures of a Forty-Niner” is a rare 19th-century history of California focusing on the gold-rush era and the rise and growth of San Francisco. Knower was one of the many who ventured to California in 1849 seeking financial wealth, settling in San Francisco. This book describes Knowers business and real estate developments as well as his visits to Coloma mining camps and the gold prospectors.
According to Cowan, this book has always maintained its high interest.
“Numerous inaccuracies in the spelling of proper names have somewhat disfigured this work, but the story of this wholesome old Argonaut has not suffered, nor is its interest lessened.”
