Account of the life of Plummer Edward Jefferis as recollected and written by his daughter Ida J. Fitzgerald. The account includes a voyage to California in 1850 via New York and by steamer to the isthmus of Panama where he suffered from a form of malarial fever occurring along the Chagres River before finally reaching San Francisco and the gold fields and mining towns. He returned to his dry-goods business in Philadelphia, married and had a child (the author) before returning to California in 1854 by the same route. In Moore's Flat, Nevada County he purchased horses and started a livery stable business while continuing with placer mining. The account details the adventurous trip undertaken by his wife and baby daughter to join him in Moore's Flat and describes the family's life there and his success with the livery stable and stage lines. The account goes on to describe the family's move to and hardships in Meadow Lake. The account further documents his fortunes and moves to Graniteville, North Bloomfield, San Francisco, Vallejo and finally Oakland.
