  Coastal profile sketches of Cape Horn

  Manuscripts

  Bollaert's papers consist of seven detailed travel journals or notebooks for his South American expeditions, a report to the Arequipa Mining Company in 1826, a few coastal charts of the southern-most parts of South America, and a few coastal profile sketches of Cape Horn, Flores Island, Bold Point, and the lighthouse at Montevideo. The journals include detailed observations about mines and mineral resources, the trade in nitrate, coal, salt, and other chemicals, people and places encountered, archaeological sites, local history, indigenous cultures, notes on his reading in Spanish literature, and speculations on the possibility of building a railroad from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires.

  Autograph manuscript titled, From Boston to San Francisco, around Cape Horn

  Manuscripts

  This document records the ocean journey of the barque, Golden Fleece, which left Boston, MA, for San Francisco, CA, on January 27, 1864. The author, identified by the initials W.A.H. at the end of the text on the fourth page, records the ship's journey around Cape Horn and various events which transpired onboard. The author describes the city of San Francisco upon their arrival on May 3rd and notes "the sad news of the assassination of President Lincoln." This statement may indicate that manuscript is inaccurately dated, as Lincoln died in 1865, and the manuscript may in fact be a reminiscence rather than a contemporary account
