Milton B. Stevens. To Abbey Stevens. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Manuscripts

The collection contains 62 letters by 26 different authors including Milton B. Stevens, C. K. Dixon and Byron Whitcomb. The letters mention various mining camps throughout Northern California, such as Fosters Bar, Galena Hill, Murderers Bar, Pilot Hill, Salmon Falls, Weber Creek, and the Klamath River Valley Mines, as well as several California cities including Benicia, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, and Stockton. The letters illustrate several aspects of the Gold Rush experience: the journey to California through Panama and Rio de Janeiro; life in California and the gold camps; women in California; gold discoveries or the lack thereof; the techniques and equipment used in mining; loneliness and longing for home. The letters from Milton B. Stevens' mother, from Shushan, tell of the experience of the miners' families back at home in the East. Eighteen of the letters have handwritten or typed transcripts.
