Description

Heading:
Author: Taylor, Bayard
Title: Eldorado, Or, Adventures in the Path of Empire: Comprising a Voyage to California, Via Panama; Life in San Francisco and Monterey; Pictures of the Gold Region, and Experiences of Mexican Travel
Place Published: New York
Publisher:George P. Putnam
Date Published: 1850
Description: 2 volumes. xii, 251; 247. Illustrated with 8 tinted lithograph plates. (8vo) 19.2x12 cm (7½x4¾"), original blindstamped cloth rebacked with original spine laid down, spines lettered in gilt. First Edition.One of the most influential and widely read books on the California Gold Rush. A successful author and correspondent with the New York Tribune, Bayard Taylor went to California specifically to record the Gold Rush. This second American edition is the same imprint, date and collation as the first edition, though it has fewer advertisement leaves at the end of the second volume; in this copy, they are bound out of order. Howes T43; Kurutz 618c; (Sabin 94440; Streeter 2654; Wheat Gold Rush 204; Zamorano 80 #73).The Zamorano Eighty notes that "This work by an eminent writer and artist is probably the outstanding book on the early gold rush in California. The author's description of the Constitutional Convention at Monterey is the best we have, as are also the views he gives us of the earliest mining camps. The colored plates are beautifully tinted works of art depicting San Francisco, Monterey, Sacramento, and the mining camps. Bayard Taylor saw everything and recorded everything he saw."

Condition

Spine cloth and edges faded, corners worn; hinges repaired, occasionally foxing, few early pages of Vol. 2 dampstained in top margin.
