Sidney W. Hardy journal
Manuscripts
This volume chronicles Hardy's voyage from New York City around Cape Horn to San Francisco. He includes details regarding the conditions on the ship and problems among the crew leading to the dismissal of the second mate while the ship was at port at Valparáiso, Chile. The journal also covers Hardy's attempt at mining as well as his experience in owning a store that sold supplies to miners. Hardy makes a specific reference to some Indians who came to his store regularly to trade gold for supplies; these Indians were probably the Yokuts who mined for gold along the Stanislaus River.
