NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Dec. 21, 1848 Page 2 has an article: "Gold" which includes: "...all that has been reported of the gold regions of California to be true...rather a misfortune than a source of congratulation. Visions of golden sands...are filling...the minds of thousands, & if the epidemic continues we may expect to find them soon abandoning the plough and the work bench, the fundamental sources of a nation's property..." & more.
An early report concerning the California Gold Rush. Four pages, very nice condition.
