Les Petits Voyageurs en Californie

Tours: A. Mame et Cie, 1853

This children’s story centers on a Frenchman, transfixed by the Gold Rush, who travels from Le Havre to search for gold in California. He has two boys with him; they go to San Francisco in 1848 via New York, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Panama Canal. The book describes their adventures, their labors in the mines, and their accounts of mining life. The eight fine plates depict scenes of mining life as well as a view of San Francisco.
