February 20, 1849

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, Columbia, South Carolina, Feb. 20, 1849  Not only a rather rare antebellum title, but page 2 has California Gold Rush content with a letter headed: "The War the Gold is Gathered", mostly taken up with a letter datelined at San Francisco, Dec. 25, 1848. It is prefaced with a note: "...letter from the Gold Region...gives rather a gloomy view of the state of affairs in the new Eldorado...California cannot be quite as agreeable a place to live in as Columbia, although neither gold dust nor any other form of that precious metal is to be found 'in these diggings'..".
Four pages, very nice condition.
