THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., Aug. 2, 1849  Page 3 has nearly 2 columns of reporting headed: "Late & Important From California" with a wide range of news from the Far West. In fact, this is one of the lengthier reports from Calif. we have seen from this era.
A few bits include: "...Gold hunting is carried on with as much success as ever...emigrants are continually arriving..." with a bit more on the gold mining. Then a great deal on the political situation there, and so much more including the slavery issue, etc. The photos show only portions of the report.
Four pages, various tears with some chipping at the margins with some small archival mends.
