E.B. Winans letter to J. Sterling Morton
Manuscripts
Letter written by E.B. Winans shortly after his arrival in Mule Creek, California. He briefly describes his travels across the United States and the Indians he encountered along the way ("wild as the country they inhabit") before giving a detailed account of California. Winans writes in-depth descriptions of the weather, the scenery, and the condition of gold mining (including the "fabricated" stories of great wealth being acquired in gold). He also writes of the diversity of the population of the mining camps and the lack of interaction among residents.
