* California gold rush
* Warning to 49ers
Page 2 has: "California" which warns those thinking of heading to the gold fields to be very careful: "...large number of persons making preparations to proceed to El Dorado...will be obliged to undergo much suffering before reaching their wished-for haven & many will perhaps die on the passage..." with more. Also a short bit: "Death at the Gold Regions".
