Manuscripts
This is the manuscript journal kept by Madison Berryman Moorman during his travels from Tennessee to California during 1850-1851. Upon reaching California, Moorman and his companions find the mining conditions to be rather poor, and they meet with little success. Outside Sacramento, they negotiate a trade with a squatter, receiving a deed for a small piece of land, upon which they built a house. The final entry of the journal is dated 1851, February 4.
