COLUMBIA GAZETTE, AND THE SOUTHERN MINES ADVERTISER, California, April 16, 1856 Columbia is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills, in Tuolumne County, California. It was founded as a boomtown in 1850 when gold was discovered in the vicinity during the California Gold Rush. The town's historic central district is within Columbia State Historic Park, which preserves the 19th century mining town features. The U.S. historic district is a National Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the population is about 2300.
This is just the second issue from this town we have offered in our 48 years. This title existed for just 34 months Nov., 1855 thru August, 1858.
Four pages, a few small tape mends, staining. There is trimming to portions of the margins, but since never bound nor commercially trimmed the margins are very wide, with the trimming still not close to any text.
