Description

1861 Eldorado California Gold Rush Frontier Life Americana San Francisco Taylor

Bayard Taylor’s book ‘Eldorado’ is considered one of the best contemporary accounts of the California gold rush by a highly renowned traveler. Bayard Taylor had a great eye for detail, and shares some fascinating experiences in this work. His impressions of San Francisco, which basically presents a picture of a very busy unfinished frontier town, are especially interesting. He was much impressed by the high prices for just about everything, but also reports that this gave opportunities for some. Taylor spends a lot of time discussing the gold rush, and concludes that it isn’t the easiest job around. He mentions the "notorious Keysburg", who murdered his companions and made them his dinner, and running across a sick man at a stream left for dead by his friends because he was too weak to go on, sharing some insight into the simple code of frontier justice.
