Manuscripts
Six letters written by Richard E. Barnes from Diamond Springs, California (about 5 miles south of Placerville), to his brother George Barnes. The letters give an interesting flavor of life in a gold rush community in the late 1850s. Barnes talks about wages, prices, problems with mail and communications, hunting adventures including a friend getting shot accidentally, a friend's bear fight with a grizzly, the vigilance committee, and his longing for people to write him and to go back home. Barnes goes into some detail about the mines and mining in the area and money being earned and lost.
